That all changed this past weekend. My lovely mom put aside all her plans for the weekend and gave me some lessons. I "learned" to sew when I was younger and made a few skirts and a pillow. But that was years ago and I thought I had forgotten how to sew. I guess sewing is like riding a bike because I was able to remember a few things as we went along and didn't do too bad.
I picked out an easy Vogue pattern to start on. And I thought I was doing great...until I got to the collar. I knew that the stitch wasn't the best and I told mom not to look. But of course she looked and went and got the seam ripper. Having to rip out the seam frustrated me so I put the dress away.
I decided that I needed to re-start on a very easy pattern. I finished the very easy dress with no hiccups or seam ripping. And I actually wore it to work this week. Got a ton of compliments too.
What does this mean towards remodeling? Nothing really important. Just now I will use the sewing machine to sew pillow covers and curtains instead of no-sew. I might even make a slip cover with the sewing machine. The possibilities are endless. But first I have to finish the easy dress I put away.
