saying I was going to take up sewing. In high school home ec class, we had a sewing project and I liked it, but never kept up with it. My mom can sew on buttons, patches, and hem a pair pants by hand in a pinch, but machine sewing was something she never learned. Her mother, my grandmother, was the seamstress in the family. She could make clothes, quilts, you name, she could sew it. However, my mom just never bothered to learn the skill like my aunts did.
Anyway, I\'ve been working two jobs, 16 hours a day, trying to catch up my bills and make christmas money and I\'m at a point now where after Christmas, I can go back to just working one job. And my mom has decided I have talked about it long enough and that I need to take up this hobby that I\'ve been wanting to do. So for Christmas she has bought me a sewing machine. I\'m pretty excited, but a little intimidated. I can\'t remember anything I learned in high school, like the basics of threading the machine and seems to me like there something like winding the bobbin???
So am I biting off more than I can chew deciding to take up sewing when I\'ve made one blouse back in high school that wasn\'t even very good? Also, what kind of supplies should I have in my sewing kit? And what would be a good, simple first project? Should I take a class or can I learn through books and DVDs?
