How to learn how to sew
It made me
 "It's so relaxing and rewarding. "
How I did it: I returned the webcam I bought for my long distance boyfriend who stopped talking to me once he moved, got the money and bought myself a cheap sewing machine. Read the manuel, looked online at crafster.org and started sewing as best I could. Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid to screw up, cause you probably will. Buy a seam ripper. It will be your best friend Resources: crafster.org

My dressmakers dummy has feet!
1 month ago
Today I used a bamboo stick and cut it up to make some feet for my dressmakers dummy stand! I bought the dummy cheap off ebay because it had no feet and could only be used on a table top. For a time I thought what on earth I’m I going to do to make some feet for this thing?! And it came to me today.
Now I can stand it up properly and I’m really pleased! Now all I need is some fabric and I’d also like to purchase a really easy pattern, and then I shall have a proper go at making my own clothes! First though, This week I’m going to have a go at making a yoga mat bag for my pilates mat :)
Readytobehappy went out and had a fantastic, eventful night! :D
Damn noisy sewing machines!
2 months ago
I think this is a really good skill to have. I’d like to be a little bit housewifey (I’m terrible at being domesticated!). I’d really like to be able to make my own clothes. The only thing is sewing machines scare me :/ but I suppose I’ll just have to get over it!

My Mum called me yesterday to ask if I wanted a sewing machine, I told her I can’t sew yet but it’s on my list, so she has kept it for me which is good :)
I'm going to consider taking sewing lessons

It has taken a long time to work on this goal, but it is worth completing someday soon.
I always have to hem my pants, and I have been taking pants to be altered, which adds to the cost of the purchase, so if I can learn how to sew it will save me a lot of money.
I think that there maybe some sewing classes in my area so I’ll have to enquiry.
