SEWNYA

I need all the help I can get to brush up on my skills. It is amazing how much I have lost when life forced me to do other things with my time than sew. Now when I am getting back I find myself very rusty.

My mother was an accomplished seamstress, but back in the days when we ironed everything we wore, she did not like to iron. So she would tell me that she would do the sewing if I would do the ironing. Well, I watched her sew and absorbed a love for well made, "custom made" clothes. I loved to hear the sound of her scissors cutting against the table (no cutting board). After I was married I was on my own to learn to sew by whatever means I could - a lot of trial and errors. The years have gone by and she is gone, but I still love to sew. However, in recent years I have had very little time to sew and have lost some of my self confidence. I would love some reenforcement with the videos.

I can never get too many sewing books and one by Threads would be a real plus.
