If you sew using a sewing machine, how did you learn?

Hi, Angela!! I learned in HS, in Home Ec class, at least the basics. I think a sewing class would be great!!! Mary

Re: If you sew using a sewing machine, how did you learn?

I bought a sewing machine and had no clue where to start. I found a class at Sew What's New and they encourage you to bring your own machine, so I did. They walked me through all the basics for how to use the machine and we made a great project. It was fun and lasted 2 or 3 wks I think.
Also continuing education classes in the local school district often have sewing classes. Depending on the size, they will sometimes teach you how to use the machine.

I am going to look into a class, not sure if Joanne's does it, but may try there.

They should do them, at least the larger locations. I learned just by watching my mom sew when I was younger but I would def love to take some classes to learn more.

Re: If you sew using a sewing machine, how did you learn?

I have never sewn anything, now I have my own business with a friend and we sew dresses and clothes etc. I taught myself. I asked for recommendations on here, bought a sewing machine (nothing too $$$$) watched the DVD it came with and started playing around. It is a very user friendly machine. I do have to say I think my late grandmother is possessing my body and teaching me to sew Chat Icon she was a seamstress. That is the only explanation I can come with for my new found talent and love for sewing.
