I took sewing every year of high school & while I was in college. I actually made my own patterns & made suits, which is hard. Last year, 5 years after ptsd diagnosis) I tried to make an apron, read the pattern and wasn't able to do it. It was like I never did this, no memory at all. A few months ago while cleaning I found a pruse patern & everything I needed to do it & I did it! However, I became compulsive as now I had something to do when I couldn't sleep & I made 5 purses in 2 days without sleeping. I'm back to not making purses...I'm tired
