“Dear Allison,
This is such a wonderful topic and the way you approach the subject is so rich in detail and research on the subject, that brings tears to my eyes, and memories of my childhood!
I was born in the early 60s in small village west of Argentina, by the Andes, no tv so we had a lot of time for play and school.
My mother taught us to sew and knit by age 5 to keep us busy in the cold winter, later I got more classes in school we had home economics in the afternoon including gardening, cooking and of course sewing and knitting.
Later in my 20’s I had the opportunity to come to California (study a broad) …. Long story short I end up in the Bay Area sewing for art to wear artist and later took classes of fibers culprit
And learn more about fibers and techniques that I love,
Occasionally, I volunteered at a school close by to small kid’s to sew .
I will like to teach what I learned but kids are not very interested this days and I’m afraid it is an art that maybe despair if we don’t do some thing about it ! Thank you for all you do!”
