I wish this was in fashion while I was learning stitching I could never have my hem straight and the nuns would send me out of class. I gave up that boring activity even though my then fiance thought I knew how to stitch. My mother told me to start going for classes just after I was engaged. My innocent husband bought me a sewing machine - little did he know that he would be using it and not me Let's discuss Image credit:

I had thought about taking a sewing class because I wanted to make dresses for me to wear because I'm short and I sometimes have a hard time finding jeans and dresses that are the right length. But I didn't get to take the class.

I have always enjoyed stitching and sewing, I like less using my sewing machine, but I do if there is a long hem to sew.
