I basically spent the entire day working on a new project – making a pair of “genie” pants/bloomers out of a vintage skirt!

Once again, my friend tells me that I don’t need to take a sewing class – just practice, practice, practice – so I might change this goal soon. 15 months ago

my friend and neighbor is an avid seamstress who also studied sewing and textiles at college – last night she helped me alter my first dress, and it turned out great!

I might not have to take a formal class after all… 15 months ago

but it’s mostly from my grandma and stuff i taught myself. i prefer hand sewing – this goal is specifically about machine sewing.

i’m still scared of using the sewing machine (i use it, a bit reluctantly) and i know that i could be more efficient with it and knowledgeable about its use, especially troubleshooting. i feel like if i took a class i could be a lot more productive and make things with a lot less hassle and frustration and “do-overs” and ripping out of seams etc…

there are all kinds of places around here where i can take a class; just have to find a reasonably priced one that meets at a time where i can take it (now that i have a job, hee!) 16 months ago

I bought a groupon for a sewing class and I just got around to signing up. The earliest opening they had was in March. I will learn to sew this year! 16 months ago

I received a sewing machine as a wedding gift and have yet to put it to use which is such a shame! I will remedy this before the end of 2012 by taking a sewing class. I need to do some research on where classes might be available. 16 months ago
