No Not a prom dress or anything fancy. That's because I don't know how to sew. But a straight stitch I can manage. I really should learn out to make some clothes, I could make lots of cute summer things. Can't one of you girls out there come live next door to me and teach me to sew?

Oh I so would. I taught myself to sew by buying a pattern for shorts and longer pants, gathering fabric and putting it together. While I was making the shorts, I went very slowly, learned from mistakes, corrected them and eventually had a pair of shorts I loved to wear. I had to learn all by myself how to make a fly, insert a zipper and do top stitching. I have never taken a sewing lesson but frequently ask advice from a friend who makes costume recreations. Even though I cannot be there, I am always here for any questions you have.
