Last week I didn't know how to fill a bobbin,thread a machine,change the needle or sow a strait line. I'm still working on that one. I have learned so much in a week and I am excited about learning more everyday. I have a lot of free time on my hands so I have been sewing 4 to 5 hours a day. Try something new everyday. Like a kid in a candy store I can't get enough. This is a blast. I made 4 dresses for my granddaughters and I made a black jean skirt for myself. Please check them out and give me some pointers. Thank you and I want to thank all of you who have encouraged me so far. This site is awesome .

Everything I have done so far was without a pattern. Also the dress I picked out has buttons in the back so that will be a new adventure.

So I decided to turn it into a dress. You called that one right. My youngest grand daughter was wearing my last dress. I made rhe fabric flowers at the top and that was my first attempt at a ruffle. I am realy excited my wife is a great teacher. She shows me how to do it and then makes me do it all by myself. Show and tell and put it into practice.

I love this site everyone has been sew encouraging. I might have to turn the man skirt into a man purse. I have to use a wheel chair for a while and there is no way to carry things and wheel yourself at the same time. In my small rural area there is no way to start a new " man skirt" fashion trend. Maybe it's just I would be to chicken to be the one. Lol
