Sewing: The Basics

As you know, I sew.
My Mom gave me a sewing machine a few years back for Christmas & I just jumped right in! I thought how hard could sewing 2 pieces of fabric be? (as I struggled to thread my machine for 2 DAYS) 
I WAS A PRODIGY, my talent was far to great to bother with knowing the right way to do it!!

The next year I asked Larry for a Dress Form. I had decided I was going on Project Runway! (HAHAHA)
 Not long after my decision to win that season of Project Runway I realized how little I knew. Being frustrated or stubborn I stopped (for the most part)...recently I started sewing again, I decided to really pursue it & CORRECTLY this time.  My 1st class is on Sunday with my Mom, sis & her Mother-in-law. It's a BASIC class (no prodigies allowed)....I am so excited! 

With my new interest in sewing "by the rules" I have found tips from experienced seamstresses on the web. 
 Here is my favorite so far...
