Hi everyone, I've never joined anything like this before!
 I've been reading posts & found it really interesting so I'm looking forward to joining in. My hubby bought me a sewing machine a couple of years ago ( he bought me an Oyster card for the London Underground this week so his gifts are a little random!) & I have enjoyed making clothes but have made many mistakes along the way. I'm hoping to join in & learn lots.  :)

A very big welcome from me Anita.  Have a good look around - there's lots to see!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Hi and welcome to the forum.  An Oyster card is a great gift, so I think your husband is quite imaginative.

Anyhoo, get a  :drink: pull up a chair and have a look around.  By the way, when vegegrow refers to 'enabling', she really means aiding and abetting in the reckless spending on fabric and all kinds of related items.  0_0

Hello and welcome from me too  :D
I've been sewing since I was a child and was also a qualified tailor before I retired and I still make mistakes, it's all part of the learning curve.

Welcome to the group.  Hope you'll enjoy it.  Don't worry about mistakes.  You can't sew without! 
Like Surest1tch I have been sewing for ever.  And mistakes are still happening here!   :D
