Where there's a will, there's a way.<br /><br />However ......I never did like sewing. Love to knit. Love to cross stitch. But, regular sewing ...not my thing. I have a machine. I use it for easy repairs and that's about it.<br /><br />I think you could probably take a few lessons at JoAnn's before you committed to buying a machine. If you really like it, THEN get a nice machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-6230737294063504632015-12-07T14:55:34.454-06:002015-12-07T14:55:34.454-06:00Hey, if I can learn, you can.

Ha, maybe it's a Mom thing.<br /><br />I have been thinking about learning to sew as well. I'm impatient and have no machine. So I'm probably not the best to ask, as I've been on the fence about it for a few years. Not the wanting but the actual learning.<br /><br />As for you. I would say if you like something you will do it. See if you can enlist a friend for some basic lessons or take a neighborhood craft class. See how you take to it before you ... invest. xoxoelnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-21434488076672316202015-12-07T12:40:23.652-06:002015-12-07T12:40:23.652-06:00You can do it Kathy!

I would have quit before now if it was too hard!<br /><br />Whoa, that Santa IS scary, but you have to wonder why he is so serious.
