******************************************************************************* It's not who I have taught, I'm so
excited that yesterday was my first lesson in learning how to smock.
For years I have shared what knowledge I have in sewing, quilting
and cross stitching to anyone who wanted to listen, but not until
yesterday did anyone take the time to get me started in smocking.
YAH B. S., Apalachiocola, FL ******************************************************************************* When I was a small child we lived
three houses away from the Singer sewing teacher.
She offered lessons to my sister and me for Christmas.
We started off by learning how to sew on the lines she traced
on paper and then moved on to simple projects.
My first item was a basic slip.
I was so proud of myself.
When I went away to college I lived in a residential house
with a German housemother. She
was smocking a dress for her granddaughter.
Since I had been sewing for years, it was a natural
progression on to learning how to smock.
From there, I have been having a great adventure learning how
to do heirloom smocking and other advanced sewing techniques. P. C., Merced, CA ******************************************************************************* I took my first sewing class at
the Girls club in our neighborhood when I was about 9 or 10. I made
a horribly bright peasant blouse that I was oh so proud of!!! After
that my then teenage sister took me under her wing and taught me all
she knew. We shared an old singer that did straight stitch and
zig-zag that was set up in our room. Those were the days! :-) K. P., Elkins, WV ******************************************************************************* My mother taught me the
fundamentals of sewing when I was a girl of 10-12 years.
As an impetuous teenager, I found sewing frustrating, so I
did not perfect my skills or even practice them again until I was in
my 20's. When I bought
my own sewing machine, I desperately needed to be taught to sew all
over again. I found the
television programs of Martha Pullen, Eleanor Burns, and Nancy
Zieman very educational and inspiring.
I truly believe those ladies taught me to sew by showing me
that sewing is not frustrating, and by providing the basic education
I needed to build my confidence. M. T., Sierra Vista, AZ ******************************************************************************* I taught my self. Living in
Mississippi and having a girl means smocking and french handsewing
to have a true southern belle. I live in Kentucky now but I still
love comments I get on my daughter's clothes and the fun I have
making them. S. V., Murray, KY ******************************************************************************* Well, my mother tried to teach me
to sew, but that didn't go well.
This was when I was 26.
I never thought I would need to sew or want to.
I just thought my mom or grandma would do it for my daughter.
then I met a new friend when we were stationed in NC.
she made the most beautiful smocked clothing for her
daughter, and she offered to teach me to smock and the basics of
sewing. I've been
smocking and sewing for 7 years now and LOVE it. T. C., Aurora, CO ******************************************************************************* My mother taught me just the very
basics of using a needle and a sewing machine.
I remember making clothes for my dolls. Later, in the ninth
grade, I took Home Ec and our teacher, Mrs. Purifoy, taught us how
to read a pattern. Our
first project was to make an apron.
I still have mine. I was very precocious and appliquéd an apple on the pocket.
Since retiring a few years ago, I have continued to learn by
attending various classes at the store where I purchased my machine,
a Viking I. If I had all the money I have spent on machines and
accessories, fabric, and notions, I could probably have bought a
great wardrobe for myself and all my children and grandchildren, but
I would have missed all the joy of creating beautiful things, but
most of all, I would have missed getting to know some really great
people who also enjoy sewing. D. F., Mobile, AL ******************************************************************************* The vast majority of us were
taught by our mothers, as is true in my case.
My mother, Dorothy Knies, was self taught.
When I was born the day before Pearl Harbor she began
teaching herself how to sew by reading.
She was a great believer in being able to do anything you
wanted by reading. All through my school years I happily wore her beautifully
detailed clothes sewn with love for me.
In turn, my mother taught me the finer points and encouraged
using the detailed patterns.
I sewed for our son and, now, smock for our granddaughter.
I was proud of my mother's skill and she would have delighted
in seeing my Isabel's smocked clothes.
C. A., Cincinnati, OH ******************************************************************************* My Mom taught me how to sew. I would go to sewing circle with her and sit at her feet
doing my own project. The
other ladies got a laugh out of the way I would 'moisten' my thread
each time i would make a stitch rather than just when I threaded the
needle. K. C., Birmingham, AL ******************************************************************************* My grandmother sewed and my mother
sewed, but with six of us, Mom never had time to show us how to do
anything...sewing or cooking. I think it was just easier for her to
do it herself. After I got married, my husband gave me a $100 sewing
machine for our anniversary gift. At this time, we lived in
Pennsylvania and my parents lived in Illinois, so I was on my own.
We couldn't afford sewing lessons at the time. At first, I never
made anything that required sleeves or a zipper. I made clothing for
my toddler son, mostly the little creepers. Eventually we moved back
to Illinois and my mother was thrilled that both my older sister and
I were trying our hand at sewing. We sewed out of necessity in those
days. Mom did teach me how to set sleeves in and how to put a zipper
in. I also took a few sewing classes as the children got
older...Stretch and Sew and even a designer blue jean class. Every
member of my family HAD to wear those jeans I had made for them! As
the children grew, seems we sewed less and less for them and more
for the house. About seven years ago, my sister and I were in a
fabric store that carried Sew Beautiful and we ooh-ed and ahh-ed
over the gorgeous things. She bought me a subscription for my
birthday and we would pour over the magazine long-distance...she now
lives in Arizona. Our husbands agreed to let us attend the Martha
Pullen School of Art Fashion one February and we have been six
times. My sister flies to Illinois and we travel together to
Huntsville. We have learned soooo much and have come so far in our
sewing skills. We would look at each other and say "Did you
know that?" We never fail to learn something new each time we
go. We have had to best sewing teachers from all over the world,
from Puerto Rico, to Australia, and including Lezette Thomason from
Children's Corner. Our mother is amazed at what we can do and so
proud of us both. D. E., Peoria, IL ******************************************************************************* As a young girl, my grandmother,
Nannie, made many of my dresses.
She would come pick me up in her BIG Packard and we would
drive to the Fabric store for me to pick my fabric.
I know sometimes she must have cringed at some of my
out-there 60's color combinations, but she never let on.
She still finished those yellow, red and purple polka dot
dresses with French seams, perfect plackets and hand-done button
holes. As my own little
daughter chose "Barney the Dinosaur" fabric for her
back-to-school dress, I felt my Nannie smiling down on me as I
finished French seams, perfect plackets and hand-done button holes! What a gift to not only learn how to sew, but how to revel in
the joy of those sewn for! D. C., Memphis, TN ******************************************************************************* When I was very young, my mother
would put me by her side when she was sewing for my two sisters, my
brother, and myself. She
always gave me material, thread, and a needle to sew with. Sometimes
she would have me to cross stitch, or help me make doll blankets and
clothes (Sometimes I think it was to keep me out of trouble!). No
matter what my mom was teaching me, she always did it with love and
patience. That was the start of my mom teaching me to sew and a love
of sewing that has lasted over fifty years.
I have taught smocking and sewed many dresses for my three
daughters and made rompers for my son.
My love of sewing has not faded, but because of carpal tunnel
I have not been able to hold a needle for ten years.
Recently, I had surgery and will soon be able to enjoy and
share my passion again. Our first grandchild will be born
in May. Hopefully, I can teach her some of the things my mother
taught me. C. R., Grafton, MA ******************************************************************************* My grandmother was the first one
to show me how to sew. I was ten years old and she taught me to
embroider. I made three linen towels for my mom, which I still have.
By age sixteen, I was making dresses for my mother. Now, at age
sixty, I have a business called Elegant Baby so I can sew for
children. I've been sewing almost all of my life and I love it. P. P., Shelton, CT ******************************************************************************* My Mother made all the outfits for
my sister and myself when we were younger. I wanted to sew too...so
at age seven, after learning how to operate the sewing machine, I
started sewing for my large baby doll. As I got older I made a lot
of my own clothes.... And
I sewed for my three daughters until they graduated from high school.... L. P., Richmond, CA ******************************************************************************* my Grandmother used to run a
children's dressmaking emporium in collins St Melbourne (Australia).
Sewing (or rather smocking) almost exclusively in Liberty lawn,
viyella and velvet she allowed me to play with her scraps. As an
older teen she taught me to smock (using dots!). Unfortunately she
died late last year at 99 years old.
I am pleased to say that our last conversation was about
needlework and that her legacy remains with me. J. V., unknown ******************************************************************************* My older sister taught me how to
sew. I spent a week
with her when I was 15 & she taught me to make a simple A-line
dress. I haven't
stopped since. She
stopped sewing after her children were grown & recently after
she retired I talked her into starting up again & she is now
happyly sewing away for her grandson. K. W., Catonsville, MD ******************************************************************************* My mother when I was 10-12 years
old. Then in high
school, I took Home Ec, (cooking, sewing, etc.).
Now, I have a very good friend (and seamtress) who I consult
with on a regular basis. J. S., Canadian, TX ******************************************************************************* My mom and my grandmother.
My grandmother had a Viking sewing machine in 1970 and made
beautiful dresses for us on it.
I learned to sew making Barbie doll clothes for my younger
sisters. D. U., Sacramento, CA ******************************************************************************* I began with a very short
"crash course" in high school Home Economics and later
tried to learn on my own through reading and asking questions.
But the people who really taught me to sew were my wonderful
friends on Delphi Forums Heirloom Sewing and Smocking board.
I found them as I was trying to learn to make my first bishop
dress for my baby daughter and they have helped me learn and grow in
my sewing and smocking through the past 4 years.
I couldn't ask for better teachers, or better friends. S. M., Shreveport, LA ******************************************************************************* I took a sewing class offered at a
nearby fabric store when I was 26 yrs old.
I simply had a desire to sew and being single, I had time on
my hands—so I learned. My
mother made dresses for my sister & me, as did her mother, but
we lost my mother to cancer in 1978.
We didn’t lose the tradition, though.
I now have two daughters, ages 5 and 2, and I sew dresses for
them as well as for my nieces. J. M., Lake Ridge, VA ******************************************************************************* My mom taught me to sew when I was
in about the 4th grade. I
joined 4-H and took sewing. My
mom had always made our clothes not to mention baby and Barbie doll
clothes. In 7th grade in Home Ec. my teacher assigned us a home
project and a class project. In
class we were to sew a simple skirt so I decided to make a blouse to
go along with the skirt. When
I turned in my blouse my teacher made the comment "Tell your
mom she sew very straight seams."
I was very upset by this because I like very much to sew.
Now I sew when I can and I love to smock.
I have a four year old daughter and a brand new godchild.
I just finished smocking a dress for her to come home in. I
am very happy that my mom taught me to sew because not to many
people really care to take the time to do it any more.
And thanks to my mother-in-law who taught me to smock and
still helps when I call for help on any project that I'm doing. B. R., New Iberia, LA ******************************************************************************* My first sewing experience was
sewing clothes for the Easter bunny with my mother as my teacher.
My mother continued to be my sewing mentor until I
entered college
and majored in Home Economic where I received future sewing
experience. B. G., Moses Lake, WA ******************************************************************************* I grew up in family of sewers. So it was always there, so I learned the basics almost by
osmosis. Then in the
9th grade I took home economics and really learned to be a good
seamstress. That was 51
years ago and sewing has been a joy all these years. W. S., Tyler, TX ******************************************************************************* My mom taught me by starting me
out with doll clothes. I soon saw the advantages of being able to
sew my own clothes. I was very tall and in order to have properly
fitting clothes, either my mother or I had to make them. If I made
them I had total creative control! Now my 5 year old granddaughter
sits at my machine and helps make her doll clothes. What a joy! J. H., Shawsville, VA ******************************************************************************* My mother loved to sew. She taught
me the basics of sewing and then she sent me to sewing classes at
the local Singer Center. It was a great opportunity to meet other
girls my age that liked to sew. I have been sewing ever since and I
still take classes. J. H., Rocky Hill, CT ******************************************************************************* When I was newly married, a new neighbor
moved near us, and I remember watching her precious daughter toddle
around in beautiful smocked clothes.
The neighbor later opened her own sewing/heirloom shop and I
was expecting, so I took a class and have never looked back!
I became hooked instantly. B. H., Pensacola, FL ******************************************************************************* I learned to sew on a old treadle
machine that my Grandmother had in 1954.
It was great to have such control over your stitches when I
was just learning. Of
course, later I learned to sew on my Mother's electric machine.
My Mother's as well as my Grandmother's love for sewing
inspired my want to learn as well as my love for machine as well as
hand sewing. C. K., Marietta, GA ******************************************************************************* My father taught me how to sew. While serving in the Navy during World War II my dad worked
in the laundry on board ship when he was not manning the radar.
One of his laundry duties was uniform repair and alterations.
My sweet mother never even knew how to thread our machine but
my dad did. He is 78 years old and still repairs and mends his clothes
instead of sending them out. M. D., Germantown, TN ******************************************************************************* My mother and grandmother taught
me to sew. Smocking and heirloom sewing were taught to me thru the Creative
Needle magazine since the beginning issue in 1985.
I have sewn for my 4 children and have had a custom
sewing business for almost 20 years.
Without your magazine, I would not have had the sources and
inspirations for such a successful at home business.
I must thank Creative Needle for teaching me many wonderful
techniques. You have
actually had two of my daughters outfits featured.
Thanks again!! A. C., Fayetteville, AR ******************************************************************************* My great Aunt Jessie sparked my
interest and love for sewing. She
taught me that you can get by with a lot less material than what a
pattern calls for, as long as you line the pattern pieces up the
right way! She was so
talented in sewing, and at one time in her life owned a dress shop
and did all the alterations herself.
She made my bridesmaids' dresses, and my ring pillow, along
with the flower girl and ring bearer's outfits, 24 years ago. She combined four different wedding dresses to put together
my dream wedding dress! She
went home to be with the Lord several years ago.
I wish she were still alive to see how much I have used what
she taught me in sewing for my own daughters now. J. L., New Edinburg, AR ******************************************************************************* My mother sewed to help support
our family. She taught me by example and instilled the love of
sewing. She passed away many years ago and I am still learning from
friends and great teachers at my favorite fabric store. D. M., Garyville, LA ******************************************************************************* My wonderful mother taught me to
sew. I started makeing
pillow cases when I was about ten year old.
My mother made all my clothes as I was growing up.
She taught me that when you sew you have a unique design. You can make it an original.
Now I have three little granddaughter.
Because of my mother unique ability I have the opportunity to
design unique garments for the granddaughters. C. P., Fort Worth, TX ******************************************************************************* I grew up in a household of 4
girls and a Mom who loved to sew.
When each of us turned 6, Mom taught us to make our own
panties and slips. After
mastering that skill, we were then taught to make
"Broomstick" skirts, then blouses.
We sewed all summer long making our own clothes for the
coming school year. To
this day, as a 70 year old Grandmother, I love to sew.
I have passed my love of sewing to my 2 daughters and 7
granddaughters. E. L., Knoxville, TN ******************************************************************************* I come from a long line of
seamstresses. Both of
my grandmothers sewed. My
aunt and my mother both worked in clothing manufacturing plants.
So, I guess you could say that they ALL taught me to sew and
that sewing is "in our blood". I have three sisters and we
all know how to sew. My
main sewing influence, however, came from my oldest sister, Eileen,
who had her own decorating business and also made beautiful wedding
gowns. She was sewing at 7 years old and had a passion for it.
By her teens she was the best dressed girl in town!
She was never afraid to try a new technique or tackle a more
difficult project. She
was always trying new fabrics and threads.
She loved to just touch the fabrics and feel the quality and
imagine the possibilities. I personally was a terrible seamstress
until my first daughter was born four and a half years ago.
I had always wanted to learn to smock and joined a guild.
The ladies there helped me learn to smock and helped me hone
my sewing skills. I am
now ADDICTED to smocking and sewing and have won several ribbons at
local fairs for my garments. It is wonderful to pass down through
the generations these wonderful arts and I am excited for the day
when I can teach both of my young daughters to sew.
I hope they develop as much of a passion for it as I have. F. L., Columbia, MD ******************************************************************************* I taught myself, mostly!
My mom taught me the basics - hemming, replacing buttons, and
sewing straight seams - when I was young, and my mother-in-law got
me interested in heirloom sewing.
I learned to smock and do other heirloom techniques using the
great instructions and "lessons"
included in patterns from The Children's Corner, Collars,
etc, and Petite Poche. L. K., Dublin, OH ******************************************************************************* I don't remember a time of not
sewing. My mom says that I always sat near her and the sewing
machine and grabbed every little scrap and sewed it together. Both
my mother and grandmother were avid sewers and I always sat and
sewed with them. I seemed to learn to sew by osmosis. Once I got
into high school and could take lessons, my mother quit sewing and I
became the household sewer. I sewed for my sisters and mother and
myself from the age of thirteen. K. M., Madison, GA ******************************************************************************* My mother taught me embroidery,
but she "didn't sew", as in make clothes, etc. Both of my
grandmothers sewed and quilted. I remember handsewing
"clothes" for my Barbie dolls and making quilt squares on
my grandmother's treadle machine. That machine now belongs to me,
and I still have the quilt squares, too. My parents gave me a Singer
machine as a present when I was in high school. They told me later
that they thought it would last for a few months and then I'd lose
interest. Not sew! I was hooked and have been sewing ever since! D. B., Etowah, TN ******************************************************************************* My mother taught me embroidery,
but she "didn't sew", as in make clothes, etc. Both of my
grandmothers sewed and quilted. I remember handsewing
"clothes" for my Barbie dolls and making quilt squares on
my grandmother's treadle machine. That machine now belongs to me,

& love it!! I do
not remember having to wear store bought clothes until 5th or 6th
grade!! I was sew lucky! at
age 4-5 I began sewing Barbie & other doll clothes.
When I was in the 6th grade my family moved @ 500 miles from
my grandparents & i began to sew more for myself.
My grandmothers would mail me fabric & notions & I
would sew. My daughter,
Gabrielle is 9 & receives her 1st sewing machine for Christmas!
My twin sons learned to sew in the 5th grade.
I feel confident at college they can repair buttons &
more, if needed. Sewing
is what I do for myself - it is sew relaxing!!
I Thank my grandmothers CLothilde Krohn FLurry & Zaidie
Lucille Craig for my love of sewing.
The tradition continues in my children! J. M., Clinton, MS ******************************************************************************* My mother gave me the desire to
learn to sew and she taught me the love and rewards that sewing will
give a person. Handwork
has always been a love of mind because mother instill in me the joy
that a needle will bring by creating beautiful stitches on fabric.
My basic formal instruction and education to sewing came from
my home economic's teacher in high school and then in college. R. W., Nashville, TN ******************************************************************************* My grandmother taught me to sew
when I was 11 years old. I've sewn so many things since then (34
years ago!), grandma is gone, and now I find myself teaching my own
daughter to sew, as well as many of her friends. Home Ec is no
longer an elective for students, and handcrafted items, especially
sewn ones, will be fewer and farther between unless more people get
in touch with their creative side, instead of the computer! I am so
thankful that I have sewing in my life. It has brought me solace,
pleasure, monetary rewards, and a feeling unsurpassed that of any
other thing I have done in my life. K. R., Chico, CA ******************************************************************************* Even though I had the basic sewing
skills, I was rough around the edges doing newer methods of sewing
for today's fabrics and styles.
Two ladies I knew but had had no common interest with them
invited me into their home to learn the new methods.
Not only have I improved my sewing skills, but now have two
true friends. We get
together about every two weeks for a day of sewing, talking, and
eating. We also take
classes together or we will visit a neat heirloom shop.
The art of sewing has enriched my life by bring me two new
friends. L. M., Lawrenceburg, TN ******************************************************************************* I taught myself to sew with the
help of some wonderful writers and publishers. I'd always had an
interest in needlework. My mother had taught me embroidery and
knitting, but she didn't sew. My grandmother was convent schooled
and knew handsewing, but she passed away before she could teach me.
I stumbled across heirloom sewing when I bought a pattern. I had to
mail order all the supplies to make the dress (and the store tossed
in a copy of Creative Needle!) Between the pattern
directions, the Creative Needle magazine, and Singer's Sewing
for Children book, I made the dress and managed to become addicted
to the process! I'm proud to say that the child who wore that dress
for her first communion is now a freshman at NYU and the dress has
been passed down to many of her cousins. C. A., Port Saint Lucie, FL ******************************************************************************* My grandmother, my father's
mother, lived upstairs in our house when I was a very young girl. I
was only about five years old when she began teaching me handsewing.
She taught me how to hem a skirt using very small stitches so they
were almost invisible. She passed on when I was seven, but I always
remember sitting with her and listening to her wind-up victrola. I
miss her to this day. J. V., Toms River, NJ ******************************************************************************* Growing up in Massachusetts and
Kentucky, my mother had a White sewing machine in a furniture
cabinet. For my mother, her sewing machine was a huge investment
that she treasured maybe even more so than her father treasured his
Chrysler cars. As a young child, my mother made all my coats and
leggings. She hand
smocked my dresses and made my bonnets. As a young adult, my mother
shared with me her self-taught tailoring techniques that she used to
make expertly fitted clothes...... I only wish I had listened
better. D. T., Lawrenceville, GA ******************************************************************************* My mother gave me some iron on
embroidery designs when I was 7, then began giving me scraps from
old projects and spools of thread that were nearly bare. I was only
allowed to have 1 needle at a time because I tended to misplace them
and my father kept finding them the hard way.
One of the first projects I completed on my own was a Barbie
outfit made from white ottoman weave knit and sewn together with an
overcast seam from olive green tent thread. It is really a
sad-looking thing, but I still have it almost 30 years later. C. G., Parker City, IN ******************************************************************************* I learned to sew from Ms.
Manderson at the Singer Sewing Center.
My older neighbor also taught me some other sewing secrets
like better finishes for garments.
I still attend sewing classes to better myself and I enjoy
meeting new people. Sewers
are the best friends!! W. H., Macon, GA ******************************************************************************* My mother taught me to sew.
Despite her poor eyesight she was (and still is!) a
perfectionist. I love
to look at her finishing detail as it is always so perfect, it
always gives me thrill. After driving her plum crazy (although she
never let on to me until many years later) making draw-string bags I
eventually moved on to more challenging projects. K. B., Post Falls, ID ******************************************************************************* When I was a young women and had a
baby girl, I wanted to sew clothing for her.
When my niece was seven years old ( and my baby 2 years old)
I visited a convent here in Reading of cloistered nuns who made
smocked dresses to earn money for their upkeep.
I took my daughter along with me when I went to order a dress
for my niece's first communion.
When Sister saw my little girl, she fell in love with her
immediately and told me that the convent would be closing in this
area as they were moving to Baltimore, MD, and she would not be here
to make my daughter's first communion dress when she was seven. She suggested that she would teach me so I could do it myself
when she was gone. However,
being a cloistered sister, they were not allowed to talk to people
other than what was necessary for the order (dress size etc.)
Every week I would go to the convent with my little girl
(Angela is her name) and Sister
would teach me a new stitch. We would pretend that she was taking
another order so she could spend some time with me.
This was way before smocking came back into it's own with a
lot of people doing it. (Probably about 1968)
At that time, a lot of the girls who were receiving their
first communions would have these specialty dresses made; if you
could possibly afford it as they were very expensive.
I was so thrilled to learn this new technique since I have
always loved smocking and was so excited to learn this sewing
procedure that I made all the dressy dresses my daughter wore all
growing up. I even made her Senior Prom dress and it was beautiful.
A friend of hers in college actually wore the dress for the
Miss Delaware pageant. As a side note, I went on to have
four sons after my daughter but no more girls.
No way did boys wear any smocking at that time.
I now have 11 grandchildren, 8 of them girls, so have many to
smock for. P.S.
Sister also had to teach me how to sew as I hadn't learned
that at that time. I wish she were alive today to see all the things
that I have made over the years.
B. D., Shillington, PA ******************************************************************************* Hey Ladies! I've been learning to
sew since I was about 8 years old. My grandmothers both taught me
different things by hand like sewing buttons and fixing hems, and
some embroidery. My mother and my dad taught me how to sew on a
sewing machine and how to use patterns. I lived as an exchange
student in the Netherlands for awhile and my host mother taught me
how to sew without a pattern. So I've learned from many people and I
am still learning so many things from books and television. I have
now discovered magazines and the internet! It's thrilling! Have Fun!
C. H., Dimmitt, TX ******************************************************************************* My Aunt Sue taught me to sew. She watched us when my mother was at work. With cloth in hand she would sit with me and teach me to stitch little bits together. My mother would sew us clothes and I would always be next to her watching and asking questions. I learned more about sewing in high school. But my best friend in seventh grade gave me inspiration. She was a seamstress in my eyes. She made Clothes with out patterns, Those were our favorites to where even in high school. I owe many thanks to all who taught me to sew, but I came from a family of four girls and I am the only one who sews and loves it. I believe Thanks should go out to all who inspire sewing and those C. P., Skiatook, OK
