On October 17, 1966, I earned the Junior Girl Scouts Sewing badge when I was 10 years old.
When I saw the suggested prompt for the 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge was "Earliest Sewing Memory," I was at once glad I actually had one; and also, was happy to have proof. From reading through the requirements for the aforementioned sewing badge, apparently I learned how to use all the basic sewing tools, about different kinds of cotton, how to use pattern books, as well as how to sew a variety of types of seams, edge finishes, and fasteners. I could name the parts of a sewing machine, and knew how to thread it and run it. And as the final hurrah, I made this skirt.
The last item on the list of requirements was to list ideas for future sewing projects I would like to sew. Boy I wish I had that list as well. I sure hope I was able to accomplish some of them!
I’m participating in a 31 day blogging challenge!
