I really want to sew. I have this image of myself as a 1950's housewife, canning vegetables out of my own garden, cooking, cleaning, and sewing and crafting in my spare time. I don't actually know how to do any of these things, really. But I want to. I have a sewing machine, and I have made a couple of things. My husband helped me make padded cornice boards for our windows, and my mom helped me make curtains, but I haven't done a whole lot of stuff on my own. Right now, I am working on some cloth napkins (part of my 50's housewife ideal, no more paper napkins!). I think they will turn out ok, but they are just square pieces of fabric, so nothing to get too excited about.
Anyway, today, I was looking for the manual for my sewing machine. I didn't find it, but I did find an instructional DVD that I never watched. So, I watched it. And, wow, it contains all sorts of information that would have been nice to know. So, now I feel like an idiot, because I have had this machine for like 3 years and never really knew anything about it. All because I never watched the instructions. You'd think I was a man!
