It seems that most people I know, including myself, have low self-esteem. I'm curious to know if there is anyone who has high self esteem and how you, I don't even know what to call it, have it? Why do so many of us have low self...

Starting over....

vjohnson08 @vjohnson08 (71) • United States 1 Mar 11

It has been at least 16 years since I have sewn. I've decided to pick it up again. I bought a basic sewing machine and a very simple blouse pattern. After reading through the instructions, I'm excited, yet a little overwhelmed....
