Sewing has been part of Anieta Trame’s life for as long as she can remember, but she had given it up for years.

“I was a home economics teacher at Mattoon Middle School, and when I finished that gig, I thought I would never sew again because I taught it all day long for 19 years. I sold my sewing machine and got rid of everything, and then I had granddaughters,” she said.

Trame purchased a new sewing machine and started teaching her oldest granddaughter Ellie to sew the same way her mother taught her to sew years ago. “Ellie immediately fell in love with it,” Trame said. She now has three granddaughters ages 9, 4 and 18 months and one grandson, age 6, and they all love to sew and create with grandma. “I now have two sewing machines and three sergers which is more than I ever had before,” Trame said.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
