The original mission of this site was to introduce sewing to anyone who may have toyed with the idea of learning to sew but hasn’t found the motivation to start.<\/p>\n

A motivation for learning a new hobby is that one must be AMUSED. So, it\u2019s gotta be FUN \u2026 at least a large percentage of the time.<\/p>\n

Fun is different for everyone. Like a child, I personally have a very short-term FUN-to-Frustration\/ Satisfaction ratio. Meaning, I need to have some immediate results with a low learning curve! Read on for just that!<\/p>\n
