Hello everyone!
I'm a 41 year old Manchild who has always loved making things, be it electronics, mechanical or crafty. I convinced my wife to buy a sewing machine a couple of months ago on the pretence of making facemasks for the extended family knowing full well I just wanted to explore a new craft... Anyway, I am now completely hooked!
I've done a few standard projects so far such as lined tote bags, zippered bags, tool roll and a kitchen apron. I must say the great thing about sewing is because it is all about making functional practical projects you really get a great high after you finish which just motivates you more to make something else.
My latest project is a casual short sleeve shirt which I am half way through a testing toile from an old bed sheet which is going OK but I think I may have a few questions about some of the trickier techniques I have been coming across(fitting sleeves, seam finishing etc.) before moving on to the real thing.
Looking forward to getting and maybe even giving some advice to others in the future.
