So, do you Sew?

Are you a seamstress?  I. Am. Not.  

It is sad really that this skill has evaded me for 40+ years...and especially through the years when I had small children.  It isn't that I had no interest. I had lots of interest....just not a lot of stick-to-itness.  Some how, I missed those classes when I was in school and I came from a Mother who apparently hated to sew.  But now that I am completely addicted to Pinterest my desire to be able to sew has reared it's crafty head again.  There are just too many cute things!!!!  I love fabric and feel like I could do so much if I just knew how to sew.  I have a friend who says she can teach me and I think I just might have to take her up on her offer (and hope we remain friends through the learning process!)

Here are some of the things I am in love with on Pinterst that have me lusting after the ability to sew:

    Check with the local continuing ed departments at your local community colleges, universities, etc. Both of our local schools offer beginning sewing lessons (I teach them at one actually.)

    I can sew:) I just dont have a good place to do it and the thought of the mess I'd make is what stops me... What a shame , huh..

    Do go take some lessons. The folks are always nice and I know you;ll learn quickly and soon some one will be pinning your items and lusting after them..

    good luck~!

    Yes, lessons! My mom was a wonderful seamstress. Perhaps out of necessity with 5 little ones, 3 which were girls. But, she made all our prom dresses, easter dresses when we were little, all sorts of little shift dresses. Of course. Me? I never learned the skill. My husband has to sew buttons for me! :0

    I am in the same boat! I can't do any more than sew on a button. I'd like to do more...but I also don't think I need my fingers in any more crafty pots. :-P What I *REALLY* want is a sewing BFF who can do embroidery monograms, and then I'll do all our vinyl & glass etching monograms! :-D

    I can't even sew on a button. They come unvraveled.

    I do a lot of sewing and truly love the creative outlet. I've sewn for myself, our children & grandchildren. I've also sewn professionally. Now I sew only for fun!
