I learned in Home Ec class back in the 70's and was really good once I could get the machine threaded, but to me, THAT was the scariest part...so I never sewed again.<br /><br />Instead, you guessed it. I started buying patterns, CURRENT ones no less, of things I just loved. I have a gorgeous pattern of a wedding dress that I will never need, but won't part with the pattern! haha<br /><br />Anyway...sewing machine is now being used on my cards and I am happy AND...I'm not scared to thread it anymore..after all, the diagram is right on the front of the machine! ; )Julie Ranaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239036621648875507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388161065883950075.post-75260674980578806492010-01-24T20:31:04.386-05:002010-01-24T20:31:04.386-05:00Love, Love, LOVE your blog!!

Like you I've begun to collect vintage patterns (I have one so far, impressive collection, I know ;D), however I don't have my own sewing machine at the moment. <br /><br />I know the basics of sewing, but am not an advanced seamstress by any stretch of the imagination. I truly hope to get a machine one day (hopefully sooner than later) and boast my skills so I can tackle vintage patterns with ease (eventually - I'm a realist :D).<br /><br />Wishing you a gorgeous weekend, honey pie!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388161065883950075.post-90654637817492325852010-01-24T00:10:39.692-05:002010-01-24T00:10:39.692-05:00Don't be intimidated by the sewing machine - j...Don't be intimidated by the sewing machine - just grab two scraps of fabric and straight stitch them together. Do that enough times and you've got a dress ; )<br /><br />I wouldn't worry too much about lessons. While they're great, you can absolutely become a good seamstress without them. Like anything, it's all about practice. <br /><br />I'd recommend starting with a simple modern pattern for your first attempt. Something with clean lines and not too fitted - pajama pants are great because even if they turn out a little sloppy you can still wear them without shame. Good luck : )<br /><br />donnacr:<br />If you haven't found a home for those patterns yet, I'd be willing to make you an offer.

Always trace it to pattern paper or fabric (available from Nancy's Notions, Clothilde, JoAnn's, etc.). If it is already cut, still trace it to lessen the chance of damage.<br /><br />Yes, learn to sew. Sewing doesn't save money, but the satisfaction of creating something to wear is worth all the time and effort.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388161065883950075.post-4037974064438701892010-01-23T13:44:04.493-05:002010-01-23T13:44:04.493-05:00Oh! those patterns are lovely!!
