Wow! I'm amazed on how many people this forum has! Nice to meet everyone! :D
How did you guys start being interested into sewing?
I remember that I started wanting to fix clothes at home, fix curtains, make couch pillows... And never could because I didn't have a swewing machine! Initially that's what motivated me to get one. Still need to get started though! I'll have to do some self-teaching for now since I never found sewing classes here where I live and my mom is far away in Brasil right now. She said she is going to teach me through Skype. :P
