I've taken classes and some of them were quite good. But I HATE dragging my big machine around or I'd take more! I also don't much care for the idea of people watching me sew. Silly, huh?
My first class (outside of home ec in grade school) was a 2 1/2 day class on Heirloom Sewing given by Martha Pullen teachers. Did NOT know what I was getting myself into. By the end of the second day, I left in tears. The other girls were so fast and self-assured and I just didn't have a clue. Felt like an idiot I did return the next morning though and did fine! (I still have the certificate stating I completed this class framed and hanging in my sewing room....it's dated Sept. 1999)
