Sewing is now my passion. I started sewing back in high school. Back then sewing was a requirement and I don't remember if I liked it or not. I did not continue to sew for many years and then after I had my girls I thought I would try again, unfortunately I still couldn't read a pattern and I was not very successful with my endeavors on the machine.
Here we are today some 50 years later and I got interested in sewing again after watching my girlfriend (we'll call her B). making a purse, well of course I had to try that. I successfully made this nice handbag. I was so delighted I went out and bought a new sewing machine.
Well, I am really getting into the knack of sewing now and made my son-in-law apron, I thought it should have his name on it so my other friend Judy has an embroidery machine so she agreed to embroider his name on the apron. I sat and watched with such intense as this machine did this delicate work. That did it for me, I went out to find an embroidery machine. I traded my new Janome in for the Brother embroidery machine. Bank loan and all.
This is how I got started and now I'm like a kid in a candy shop. So many patterns and so much fabric where do I begin. I'm going to end this post for now but I'll be back later.
