I started sewing my own gear about ten years ago with my mother-in-law's Singer sewing machine (maybe 1950's era?). I had never used a sewing machine before (to my knowledge) but it felt very familiar. Then one day I remembered that I had worked for two years as a seamstress (or is it seamster?) in a men's store that sold mostly suits. I did all sorts of alterations - just forgot about it (it was not an enjoyable job). I guess you block out unpleasant memories!
