A Little Too Beginner

I blogged months and months ago about how sewing masks for the pandemic was the first time I'd touched a sewing machine since junior high school. And I wasn't very good then. I did okay on the masks, but the sewing ignited my "I can make that" urge and I wanted to get more into sewing. I haven't done anything else. Yet.

But I noticed that Craftsy had a new class. It was a beginning sewing class that was geared for a parent to do with their child. Hmm, I thought, this might be worth my watching. If it's geared for kids, maybe it'll cover some things that would help me.

I think I might have picked up a tip on how to setup the thread to wind the bobbin, but overall I knew everything already. This kind of surprised me and made me wonder how indelibly imprinted nine weeks of sewing when I was 13 or 14 is on my brain. :-)

In a way, it was kind of cool, though, that I was like: I know that! Now I need to actually do some more sewing. It's too bad I don't have a dedicated crafts room because putting the machine out on the dining room table means I can't leave it out indefinitely. Maybe if I did everything in stages.
