Sewing class

I needed a complete refresher on all things sewing, because I hadn't touched a sewing machine since my adolescence. I took the Teen Sewing 101 class at Jo-Ann Fabrics. I picked the teen class because you make a skirt as opposed to the regular 101 class where you just make swatches and practice squares.

We measured & cut lining & fabric, pinned and stitched seams, and embellished. I feel up to speed on basic sewing machine operations, except for loading the bobbin.  The skirt came out fine, and I gave it to an actual teen.

Now I need a refresher on working with patterns, pinning, cutting, blocking, etc.  A friend is coming over tomorrow to help me practice.  I would cross my fingers, but I don't think I'll be able to sew very well like that.
