In December 2009, before I finished graduate school, I decided that I wanted to take a sewing class. I found a perfect 8 week course at Durham Tech for $65. I did not get around to registering until a week before class was to start in January and the class was full :-(
I was a little bummed but decided to teach myself how to sew. I like to think that I can teach myself anything so I went to the library and checked out some books and started using youtube. I watched a few dozen videos and borrowed my mom's sewing machine (I bought her the sewing machine for Christmas one year, I will return it - no Indian giving lol!) and bought a beginners pattern - an apron.
It took me a few weeks to start and finish the apron because I enjoyed laying around the house the first few weeks of January but when I started, I loved it!
I bought a few more patterns to make myself some clothes (ambitious huh?) and I will hopefully buy a dress form this weekend and get started. Cross your fingers!!
