No, in all seriousness, I've been wanting to learn how to sew for while now however, never really took the time or opportunity to "just do it". If someone like myself is new to this world, (I will be purchasing the books you recommended), do you suggest I take up a local sewing class or something else? Please help me!TDB83https://www.blogger.com/profile/02331689567297040517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-89898245354774785002012-04-13T20:57:38.144-07:002012-04-13T20:57:38.144-07:00Mimi I am in love with your blog!

I've always had an interest in making my own clothes but thought, I don't think I can actually do it. Coming to your sight has really got my creative juices flowing. Today I was thinking I wonder if MiMi posted anything about getting started......Tada! So, I guess that means I shall start immediately. You're an inspiration!

I purchased my Brother Sewing and Embroidery Machine and I've had it for eight years and I love it. HSN offers flex pay, which is like layaway but you get the item immediately.
