My step-mom does wonders with a sewing machine. I know she would be more than willing to teach me when we move, but I'm impatient! :) I'm considering buying a machine tonight and starting with some basic stuff. What else do I have to do? I mean it's not like we're moving in three and a half months or having a baby or anything. :)

I just ordered the pattern for this diaper bag (it's not like it will be a completely unproductive project. The baby will need a diaper bag.) and a basic sewing book from Amazon. I told you I was impatient! In my defense I did say I wanted to learn how to sew months ago! :)

My Mom taught me to sew, but I have not sewn much in years. I did make a chick costume for a friend last year, but I was so "rusty" in my sewing that I had my sister-in-law on the phone talking me through it. It turnedpretty well.
I love that outfit, AND the diaper bag! I'm afraid my only sewing project was trying to sew pajamas for the twins; the arms kept coming out inside out no matter how much effort I put into trying to right them. I was in tears out of sheer frustration, and decided it was not one of my gifts.
That said, I GREATLY admire anyone who can make clothing! My family would have been naked had we lived a few hundred years ago:)
I have a sewing machine waiting to be used here...I want to learn, too! My mom is gonna teach me eventually...
I love the outfit and the diaper bag, too! So cute! Did you say the bag pattern is on Amazon? I might need to get that...
MCMom, I wish I would have had my stepmom teach me sooner. I think knowing how to sew is important.
Kelli, I hope my sewing adventure isn't quite so bumpy, but I have a feeling it might be since I don't like to follow directions. :)
Kristen, yes the pattern is on Amazon. It's also on a host of other sewing sites. We should learn together. :)
I used to sew, ages ago. A very satisfying 'hobby' for me....
Back in the day I was quite the little crafter, I could make pretty much everything but shoes and lightbulbs. (lol)
Now I barely make the bed. It's all megawatts and megapixels.
I have sewn things like pillows and curtains and halloween costumes that don't have to be perfect, but, I don't have the patience or the skill to do clothes - believe me I've tried. You have to be a perfectionist with patience to sew well and I am neither.
sewing is easy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if you are serious I will buy you a sewing machine and have it here when you pass my way........ you will catch on real quick..........
