Last Saturday I took a class on how to sew a tote bag. It was really fun and I was so proud of myself with the finished piece. I even made a second one the next day and it turned out pretty good although not as nice as the original one I made.
I've been a regular crafty chick since I took the first sewing class in late May. I have another sewing class this weekend - the Pajama Bottom class. After 3 classes, I will be able to sew pillows, tote bags, and pajama bottoms - but I cannot seem to sew in a straight line. I'm sure that will come with practice.
And, I'm hooked on the sewing thing. I'm hoping that I get better with practice and that maybe one day I'll be able to use patterns to make the boys' clothing. I'd love to be able to sew the boys first suits.
i hope making suits for boys is more fun than making suits for full grown adults... in my last year of the fashion design program, my suiting class almost put me off of sewing altogether.... :)
i'm glad your having fun sewing! it sounds like your hello kitty machine is doing fine! :)
re: sewing in a straight line... i used to tell my students (when i was a ta) to slow down and for practice, to sew on lines drawn on paper with no thread in the machine.

That sounds like fun! I'd like to be able to my own pajama pants.
