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!
