Like all art driven folk I have too many supplies. I have been thinking back over the craft and are techniques I done over my life. When I was in primary school I remember have a tiny business sewing and selling mini gonks for sixpence. That must have been in the sixties.When I went to school we were (the girls) taught how to knit and how to sew. Boys were taught The only thing I remember knitting was a fluffy , pale pink pot holder. We started doing hand sewing I seem to remember making an apron decorated with cross stitch and running stitch. Secondary school no knitting but we moved on sewing with machines, treadle at first then electric. I sewed a blouse with a high collar and elaborate frilled jabot.
