I declared that I Hate Sewing, and had nothing more to do with it. Fast-forward about 15 years when as a newlywed, my mother-in-law (of whom I was always slightly in awe) gifted me with a 1955 rebuilt Elna sewing machine. She said, "Any woman worth her salt can sew at least a little!" --her words, not mine! Thus chastened, I signed up for one beginner sewing class at the local tech school. I made an ugly skirt--well, it was somewhat in vogue in 1985--which I actually wore. I learned to sew a straight seam, sew in a zipper, and install interfacing and buttonholes. A few years later, I constructed the maternity clothing which I wore to the law firm where I worked as a paralegal. After the boys were born, I sewed their halloween costumes and a couple of little things they wore to school. I'm way out of practice now, but I still like to whip up the occasional accent pillow and I did little window treatments for my kitchen that I still enjoy. YOU CAN learn to sew dear girl. Your designs show a huge amount of talent! Maybe with Munchie it's not feasible right now, but it's possible someday. When my 2 sons were at home playing, I had a little sewing corner right next to their playroom so we were side-by-side doing our thing. Fond memories! <br /><br />Just felt I should share my story to encourage you. You are such a very talented woman, Ali. <br /><br />Love,<br />JenniJenni Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111269472171845841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649234207948104665.post-72509896256792334022011-03-01T11:17:02.767-08:002011-03-01T11:17:02.767-08:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crnPfls0fHwhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crnPfls0fHwStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18118591774583454212noreply@blogger.com
