I dood it: Have signed up forsewing class; will make pillow

Do you think I'm in over my head? The woman who took my registration over the phone sensed my anxiety and asked if I was worried I would be bored in the class. Quite the opposite, I explained. Have a used a sewing machine before? Well, not since junior high (seriously). But I can use scissors! And I have a pin cushion!! She thinks I'll be fine. She probably also thinks I'm a total idiot, but she was nice (have you noticed that people at fabric stores usually are?) and did not say so.

The class is offered at Stone Mountain Daughters, our local fabric mecca. Here is the class description:

Come give sewing a try! This one-session class introduces you to a sewing machine and the basics of using it. Work on a pillow and learn how to use a sewing machine, measure and cut out your project. Come get excited about sewing! This class will help you figure out what features to look for in a sewing machine; different types of seams, skills such as turning, corners and, backstitching; and how to work with the bobbin. After this class jump into any of our Beginning Level (101 or 102), Easy Intro (80) and/or Apparel Open Sew Labs (204).

Do you notice they say work on a pillow? Implying perhaps that I might not finish the pillow? I will be sad if I come home with just a bag of fabric and thread. But the class is three hours. That should be enough time, don't you think?

My class is on May 27, and there is one more space open. Calling Monica! Come join me before summer annihilates your free time!


And thanks again Leesie for the kick in the pants!
