Megan's words on 'She Started Sewing Young' (image on the right) Sewing is a skill all women need to learn and the younger they start, the better. Or, at least, that's how the saying went in the young seamstress's family. Her own mother had taken up the needle at age 6. She then, had been handed her first pattern at age 4. It was her family's expectation that she would follow in her mother's footsteps and become a whispered name among sewing circles everywhere.
