LOL! I have taken sewing classes 3 times actually. I really wanted to learn. I signed up for beginning sewing thinking that would do the trick. When I get to the first class the instructor says, "make a dress." HUH? I needed, " This is a sewing machine, this is how to use said machine. This is a pattern, here is how you use said pattern." LOL! I didn't sign up for refresher sewing afterall, you would think they would show you how to use the darn machine!

I remember when I first got married and bought a sewing machine .. I was gonna be like Donna Reed and make my own curtains .. problem was I didn't know how to use the dang thing .. and still don't .. LOL

YIKES ! That's terrible. A beginners' class is supposed to be a B-E-G-I-N-N-E-R's class.

I guess that you're not old enough to have been forced to take sewing in school; it used to be required, when I was a girl. Oh well, maybe that was just a New York thingie.
