My middle schooler once asked me what my favorite class was when I was his age. Without skipping a beat, I told him that it was Home Ec. I have such wonderful memories of the sewing projects we worked on and the recipes we tried. I still have most of those projects tucked away in my memory boxes, and we still make a few of those old recipes all these years later.
When I heard there was a sewing studio in Littleton, I kind of freaked out — in the best way! I believe everyone should learn basic sewing skills, so I was excited to find out that the owner had some mad skills and offered lessons and fun events for people of all ages (and skill levels)! Sewing is a lost art, and I am determined to bring it back.
Over the last few years, Alicia and I have become friends, and every summer camp season, she impresses me even more with her fun offerings and fantastic ability to connect with her campers.
