You have just entered a fantastic journey….sewing is fun and you can let your unique style shine! Start with easy items and gradually try more difficult things. I actually hated sewing in school….years ago. Then when my daughter was born, I made doll clothes for her . Then I stareted sewing outfits for her, then me, then everyone else. I turned it into a home based business while my kids were little so I could make $ and stay home with then. Now, I sew most of my clothes and and home dec items. I am currently working on an online site to sell my creations. My best to you.
Invest in an overlock machine. They are great.

Thanx for commenting on my vest! I didn’t do a how-to for this because I just used the free pattern and instructions for the Franzi vest.
