Taking a sewing class

[newracer]

I learned to sew in grade school. It is a great skill to have.

Had to sew a million patches by hand for my son and myself back in the Scout days.

If you and your son weren't so awesome you would have had fewer patches to sew.

Worst part was 3 complete uniforms when he went to his first National Jamboree.

Mom taught me how to sew and cross stitch as well. Came in handy, we didn't have a tailor on my frigate

I don't recall, was there a patch for that?

Should of been a patch for me for finally teaching him how to do his own sewing.

Sewing is a great skill to have- but it's like firearms, in that you can't just stop with one type of sewing. Pretty soon you're looking to branch out into sergers, cover stitch machines, industrial leather sewing machines, etc.

But it's a terrific skill that sows instant results. And there are many, many YouTube videos to assist, as well as videos for all level of sewists on Craftsy.

So what'd you make?

It's kind of a reversible tote bag. It's pretty girly. I gave it to my wife. I'll see if I can find it and get a picture up tomorrow.

And I am quite the seamstress if I do say so myself.
