Product Description
Becky developed this sewing skills video in response to numerous requests over the past few years to teach sewing classes in her home town Flagstaff, Arizona. Realizing that so many wanting to learn how to sew couldn't fit scheduled classes into their busy routines. Her love of sewing began at the age of 11 and except for her years in nurses training at Massachusetts General Hospital in the 50's has sewn almost everything in her wardrobe and in her home decorating. She sewed for her four childern growing up and through the 70's, no longer able to work in nursing due to caring for her Lou Gehrig's Disease victim late husband, developed a home sewing/designing business. She taught sewing to 4-H and was local diredtor for the Make it Yourself with Wool sewing competition. In 1988 she and her current husband George did a Peace Corps assignment in Lesotho, (SouthernAfrica) where she taught a sewing program in a vocational school there based on the 4-H program developed here.
