Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Today is the day! So excited! The 'Sewing 101' Class I signed up for is tonite! I can't wait to learn all about this stuff so I can get started on making Katie Scarlett's first dress on my own. I wish some fellow YT'ers could go to the class with me! That would be so fun!!! It is a 2.5 hour class. It starts at 6. The hubby had to work so KS is going to the babysitters. LOL. But she will have a ball! She loves her babysitter....or should I say dogsitter. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I am taking just the basic one at Joann Fabrics. It was $35 for the class so I hope I learn a lot! Yay!

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Thanks guys! I had a great time! Turns out I was the only one who signed up for the class! LOL! It was a 2.5 hour class at Joann Fabrics called Sewing 101. But I really did not mind being the only one. It was like a private class just for me. I got to ask all the questions I wanted and got the instructor all to myself. It was nice. My teacher was great! Very friendly and very helpful! We had a ball! The class goes over basic sewing stuff. We learned all the basics on a sewing machine. I kinda already knew most of this part but I did learn a thing or two and it was good to review. We went over different types of needles, threads, fabrics, and so on. Then we learned how to read patterns and how to use them. This is what I really needed help on since I have never done this. I even went out in the store and pulled the pattern that I had bought earlier in the week (the one for KS's dress I shared with yall) and went over it with her. She showed me so much and I am so glad! I am still a little lost on the different types of stitches that are listed on the pattern, but she went over all of them and I tried to remember the best I could. I hope I can do it. I am going to attempt my first dress this week. I got to thinking and I reckon' I am going to do my first try on some plain fabric. I need to do a test run before cutting into the nice fabric I bought. LOL. I have some plain pink fabric in my sewing desk that I may try to use. But all in all, the class was very helpful! I know I still have a lot to learn, but I feel like I am getting a good start. I'm excited! And some fellow YT'er ( won't mention any names....tee hee ) told me about a sale that Hobby Lobby is having. All Simplicity patterns are on sale for 99cents each this week. So you can guess who is already making plans to drive to Hobby Lobby tomorrow.....

| That sounds like so much fun! I have a sewing machine...and even made Sophia two dresses...like five years ago. The last time I tried to sew it was a bedding piece for my dollhouse hobby. I couldn't get my machine to thread the bobbin. I think my machine was messed up...or maybe I was! Lol! I need to get it out and look into it. I would love to try again! I wish I was close so I could take the class with you...that would be so much fun!

| Oh how fun!! I don't own a sewing machine just yet but it's on my list of things to get. I mostly make doggie treats and bake. Maybe I should showcase some of my crafties Do let us know how the class goes. Sounds exciting, especially for those of us who are very hands on. |
