What was the first thing you ever sewed and how old were you?

My Mom taught me some hand embroidery techniques when I was in grade school. Took a sewing class in high school - first thing I made was a skirt & matching top. Sewed clothes for my daughter when she was a baby & toddler. After that I sewed sporadically until I got into quilting. I love all handwork - knit and needlepoint.

When I was six or seven my mom taught me to sew by hand, and my first project was a little doll, looked kind of like a gingerbread man, just two pieces of fabric stitched together around the edges (raw edges left on the outside), buttons for eyes. I loved that doll, until I went to a summer camp and another little girl had a preemie cabbage patch. She made fun of my doll.
