How It All Began

In early June, I started sewing classes. Looking on-line, I found The Stitching Studio. Here's the link, by the way:

In the first two classes, we learned how to operate the machine and some basics. (I think that the part that really helped me in getting started was the "things will go wrong, needles will break, it will be okay" lesson.) I also learned to make a small pillow/pin cushion and a drawstring bag.





Overall, learning to sew has been everything I hoped it would be: a fun, creative outlet that keeps my hands and mind busy.
