    "Sewing shouldn't put you on pins and needles!" 1 day ago

    That’s the caption on the back of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Sewing” that I rented from the library. I also grabbed the Sewing for Dummies version.

    No wonder I had a hard time finding them, though! Where would YOU put the sewing books: with the knitting, crocheting, cross stitch and other crafting books, or would you put them with the gardening, cooking and child care books?

    Anyway, at least I found them.(:

    Darn those socks! 1 week ago

    Last night I darned 2 socks. Both were from favorite pairs of socks that we wanted to keep, the $20 hiking kind.

    I learned on eHow.com
    http://www.ehow.com/how_113438_fix-hole-sock.html
    The entry on how to fix a hole in your sock is easier to understand than the how to darn a sock article!

    Next, sewing that hole in my favorite shorts!



    Got A Sewing Machine! 1 week ago

    I FINALLY got a sewing machine.. an Xmas present from my parents! Now all I have to do is learn how to use it.. haha! But hey, it’s the first step towards this goal!



    I learned to sew using a sewing machine 1 week ago

    What a great goal. I set it for 4 years running and finally I did it! I took a class, brought a machine from target and learned to sew. I have made dresses for my girls, curtains, table cloths, pillows, belts, skirts and teddy bears. I love it. So worth it.

    I’m doing pretty well with this. I made Christmas stockings to hang from the fireplace and I also made a holiday pillowcase with a piece of fabric I was saving. Nothing too complicated yet, but I’m getting there.

    I took a sewing class this summer, and it was totally worth it. Unfortunately, my group fell apart, and I was the only one remaining, so my tutor had to discontinue our lessons. Therefore the goal remains—I’ve got some basic skills, but I can’t make any garments yet.

    useful. 4 weeks ago

    i’d love to be able to tailor my own clothes and make my own lingerie. beautiful triangle bras and cute knickers, that’s what i’m shooting for. i’ve got a hundred thousand designs but i don’t have the skills to carry them out. i will learn.

    if i ever have the money, a short course in lingerie design at LCF, perhaps?

    I really need.. 1 month ago

    Fabric. I know what I want to do but I haven’t had the time to go out and find the fabric I want. Gonna have to do that this weekend hopefully. :)



    Untitled 1 month ago

    I’ve always admired the things that my mom and other people I know made with their sewing abilities. I want to be able to sew a few of my own clothes, to be able to make blankets and quilts and pillows for my home.
