A group dedicated to the fabric stash - how to keep it organized, the size of your stash, ways to use remnants and other small pieces of fabric, your favorite piece of fabric, anything but how to break the addiction (what's wrong with it?)!

Profile Information

About Me:: I am a person who loves sewing. I have been sewing since age 8. I took Home Economics every year of high school. When I went to college, I majored in Home Economics. I have been teaching school for 29 years. I only taught Home Economics for five years before the curriculum was changed and the course is no longer offered as it was. I am now a Career Discovery teacher. I love teaching, but sewing is my first love. The only problem I have is knowing someone who loves it as much as I do. I focus mainly on garment sewing. I would like to join your forum to meet others who are as passionate about sewing as I am.

What type of sewing do you enjoy?: garment

What type(s) of sewing machine(s) do you have?: I own a singer sewing and embroidery machine.

I guess I can say I love sewing as much as you do. I only had a few sewing classes. I am mainly self taught, and I read every sewing magazine that I can find to learn all that I can. I am currently teaching a sewing class to beginner sewers. I have some great students and we enjoy each others company.
