Sewing
I’m not talking about the life of fashion design, but I’m sure many designers of today learned from their grandparents, or mother that learned from their mother.
Sewing, knitting, crocheting – garments were made and repaired because they didn’t have time to take it to a seamstress. Heck, our grandmothers were the seamstress, tailor, and personal stylist all wrapped into one.
