went to a sewing class today to learn how to sew. Aside from being an hour late on account of the tubes I enjoyed learning all about the different techniques you can use a sewing machine for. I now know how to thread a machine, use a bobbin and see all the possibilities with different feet and stitches. I also tried creating a hem using a running and zig zag stitch. I then went to John Lewis to check out sewing machines which I am keen to make a purchase of. I really like the idea of sewing onto paper and making some nice notebook covers. I am also keen to start thinking about making a patchwork quilt. 4 weeks ago

Yesterday I bought a book that gives me a step by step guide on all things I need to know about using a sewing machine. Next step is to buy one 4 months ago

Before I embark on buying a sewing machine I need to learn how to use it. I have just found a 1 day course that shows you how to set up a machine. I think i need to do this first before I can make an informed judgement about what machine to buy. Looking forward to making a quilt or selling some crafts on ebay. 4 months ago
