so I just bought my first........

sewing machine!! I decided to buy one b/c I'm 5'3 and I feel like almost every pair of pants I buy I have to get hemmed, sooooooo I'm going to attempt hemming myself!! hopefully I don't sew the 2 pant legs together, that would s*ck!!

anyone else use a sewing machine, or have any tips? I bought a Brother machine with 35 stitch patterns.

wish me luck!! I'll be attempting to channel my Betsy Ross skills today!

Good luck! My Nana was a seamstress/dress maker back in the day. How I wish I had even a drop of her talent.

yea my grandma was a great sewer/seamstress, but she lived in Finland so I didn't get to learn from her as much as if she was here Chat Icon my mom is domestically challenged, so she didn't learn from her either

I read that using a sewing machine is easy, that's why I took the plunge! I'll keep you guys posted after I try it out later!
