We made a cookery apron and cap the first year and then went on to make a petticoat, a nightdress and a summer top. I was dreadful at needlework at school, took forever and had to keep unpicking seams. Once i'd left school I started making all my clothes and lots of clothes for the children. I even made a denim suit for DH once! I got out of the habit when I went back to work and there didn't seem to be the time.
I had a lovely flowery PVC mac in the 60s. It was a cut out and sew one from the sadly missed Woman's Mirror.
