    I have the sewing bug. Since taking a sewing class in Oct. I have bought Babylock sewing/embroidery,serger,quilting machines and also a Koala sewing cabinet suite. My husband is thinking we need to mortgage our house now. I need to validate my purchases by sewing something besides 3 dresses for my 2 1/2 yr old great granddaughter who will wear them no matter what they look like. The seamripper is my constant c ompanion. I need help ha ha.

    Well welcome! You'll find plenty of sewing inspiration on here that's for sure! You might consider checking out the multiude of group activities we have on here and many projects that can help get you going. Maybe there are some things around the house you need - curtains, potholders etc that you could make. Then you can move on to something really special like a wall hanging and/or quilt for your bed. No matter what, have fun!

    Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!
