On a tip from Deb, I signed up for the Home Ec sewing classes put on by Leigh Ann at Freckled Nest.
I’m what I would consider an advanced beginner. I’ve made some pretty cool things with my sewing machine but I don’t feel totally comfortable with it yet. It still isn’t totally intuitive. This class has 26 projects. They each teach a different technique and the skill level goes up along with time in the class.
The projects that put me over the edge were this leather and canvas bag, a ruffled duvet cover, the ironing board cover, and a jersey wrap skirt.
Feeling like joining me and Deb as we sew, sew, sew? You have just until Sunday, August 15th to sign up.

This is awesome! I wish I had money and time… don’t we all?!
I’m so interested in hearing how you like it. I wanted to participate, but it’s really difficult to find that kind of time as school starts. I might have to take it next time around, I’m a real beginner at sewing.
I can’t wait to get started… we are going to be super sewers by the end of this!!
Hi Christy,
I’m also in the Home Ec class. I was very happy to see another Nebraskan in the mix…then I had to giggle because I read that you also grew up in California (I was a SoCal “IE” girl). Looking forward to learning along with you!
Take care,
Jenna
I could not resist some of those cute patterns. See you in class!
