About Me:

I am happily married (made 2 mistakes getting to the charm) with two adult children. Jenny is 25 and Matt is 22. I have one beautiful, smart grandson. I never learned to sew (mom didn't sew) and now I am taking classes for the fun of it. I actually bead like crazy. Beading is my favorite pastime. I love chocolate and on my way to being a vegan. I live in the "dry" heat of AZ. I find the best way to learn is from experienced sewers willing to share with an absolute beginner. Forums are great for this.

What type of sewing do you enjoy?

garment, quilting

What type(s) of sewing machine(s) do you have?

I have one. A Huskystar C20. So far so good. I want a serger next. :)

What brands of patterns have you tried?

I like patterns with the most details. I do not do well with written instructions. If I see something demostrated it makes sense but written directions usually don't. I want to sew simple fun summer dresses and skirts. That's the plan for right now.
