Crafting for the Craftily Challenged Pt. 4
This month I ventured into the amazing world of sewing at Sew Crafty Houston. I took my first sewing class and I can’t wait for more! The Intro to Sewing class with Abby Wright! was the perfect course for a complete beginner (like myself) and great for those needing a quick refresher. The class taught me everything I needed to know to get started in the realm of sewing— from the different types of fabrics and scissors to step by step instruction on threading a machine and sewing straight stitches.
I must admit I was a little nervous at using a sewing machine considering that that my method of sewing involved staplers and hot glue guns, but all fears were set aside during the class. The small class size and extreme patience of the instructor made it so easy to keep up. Now I’m ready to tackle another project. Any ideas?
This may sound a bit cheesy, but the feeling of knowing that I actually made something start to finish without losing any fingers or any other injury is pretty inspiring. If you want to be inspired and make something crafty come join us at Sew Crafty Houston. See our June class schedule here!
Happy Crafting!
