I remember making a whole bunch of things when I was at school over the years - one of the first was a gingham table mat decorated with different stitches, I followed it up at home with a gingham apron for my gran. As mentioned above there was a pot much like an ashtray - I think that came shortly after the gingham apron. My first efforts at school with a sewing machine was supposed to be a simple cotton top - the teacher kept making me adjust it so it was smaller - when I finished it ... it fitted my younger sister (she is almost 7 years younger than me!), after that I made a skirt, then a dress and then some nightshirts - they were the biggest success and I made a bunch more of them at home out of brushed cotton - they were lovely for winter!
