Hi from North Staffs
«

Hi - I'm Jane from North Staffordshire. I was put off all forms of needlework by my Domestic Science teacher at school and for many years I refused to have anything to do with it, but now I'm a keen although not very proficient Dark Sider (think chopped-off points, corners that don't meet and crooked seams). I also do some basic sewing, mainly girls' dresses, for our charity knitting and sewing group, and I collect American Girl dolls so I want to sew some outfits for them. If the impression I'm giving is of someone who likes sewing but is basically pretty useless although hoping to improve - that's me

Welcome Jane. You will get plenty of help and encouragement here and you will soon find yourself attempting stuff you never thought you would.
How about having a go at the Project Linus quilt challenge over on the dark side -

The Dark Side is very active on this forum so you're bound to enjoy yourself on here. As others have said, the Project Linus quiltalong thing is just starting so you'd have plenty of time to perfect your skills on it.

Hello and welcome from me, enjoy the forum. I'm a 'dark-sider' too so I'll probably see you there.
