Hi all,
I’m new to the forum and new to sewing.
That said, I’m not a complete stranger to home-made clothes as my mother was a former theatrical set designer and wardrobe mistress, so we all grew up in outfits that were designed to be seen from a distance and maintained on a daily basis.
Oh how I yearned for shop-bought clothes as a seven-year old
What that did leave me with though was a huge intolerance to things that don’t fit. So, now I have a bit of time on my hands I thought I’d take the opportunity to learn some core sewing skills so I can do my own alterations. Oh and maybe treat my new grandson to a little of our family tradition for oddly home-made outfits.
Things to expect of me: stupid questions, lack of realism about my actual skill level, guilty enjoyment of the Great British Sewing Bee.
Things not to expect of me: competence, any desire to show the results of my amateurish rag-stabbing.
Right, now to go and see what’s happening.
