It took me 35 years and the internet to figure that
out. Do you have any idea the wealth of
knowledge there is on the internet? I
was so blown away by the thought that I don’t need to sit in a classroom to
learn a subject that it just about knocked me over. Seems obvious, I know. I’m slow.
The altruism of the internet is amazing to me. There are so many FREE tutorials on
practically everything that someone somewhere sat down and painstakingly put
together. In the immortal words of Mr. T, "Stay in school! Don't do drugs!" I am not saying you shouldn't go to school by far, but that you aren't limited to a traditional classroom for knowledge.
Case in point – I had an old sewing machine
collecting dust at my grandmother’s house and no idea how to sew two pieces of
fabric together. A few quick Google
searches and a hesitant trip to the fabric store for supplies and voila – I made a
zipper pouch. Can you believe it? I guess if you sew you can believe it, but if
you don’t sew……………………….! I know,
right? I even lined it. Next I moved on
to a few simple skirts for my girls and some PJ pants for my little guy! My
next goal is to learn to read a pattern since most everything I’ve done down
has just been written directions.
Thanks to a few individuals on the internet and Pinterest to help me
bookmark it all, I have plans for sew many projects (ßDid you see what I did there?) I'm still new to the blog world, so I don't have any photos on hand, but if I get a little better at this, I'll try to go back and add them.
