Welcome from SW Arkansas. I love your pink sewing machine. I learned to sew when I had my first baby (51 years ago). I made her clothes and window curtains. Since then, I've made slipcovers, window treatments, more clothes and now learning to quilt. I think sewing is not only fun but also it allows you to customize your clothes and decorating style. Don't give up on it. You have come to the right place to get tons of help and encouragement. Looking forward to seeing your first project.
