super nervous...
... but excited!!
I finally ordered some patterns for myself. I bought them from this place, I hope that they are good! I figured it would be best to start with pretty simple things, like simple skirts & blouses. Most of my sewing knowledge is hand sewing, I haven't used a machine in years! But I have a girlfriend who's agreed to help me out with learning to use my grandmother's sewing machine (thanks, grandma!), so I guess I will embark on greater adventures in sewing soon.
I picked a blouse pattern that has four different ones in it, and a basic skirt I think will look good with just about anything. I bought one dress pattern, as well. I figure this has got to be cheaper & better than bidding wars on ebay lol
I hope this is the right place to post this -- I'm just TERRIBLY excited!
eta: I forgot to ask my questions, ha. I wanted to know, do you gals think it'd be easier for a person new to sewing clothing on machines/from patterns to cut her patterns up? Or would it be better for me to start out learning to trace them so I will have them later? I am unclear on which way would be better/easier for me. What do you think? I know people have their preferences on how they like to do this, but I just figured I would ask.
