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 stil 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.
So when I heard that there was a sewing studio in Littleton, I kinda freaked out... in the best way! I believe that everyone should learn basic sewing skills, so I was really excited to find out that the owner had some mad skills, and that she 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 amazing ability to connect with her campers.
