I have been sewing actually for many years now. I have tried it for the first time when I was kid around 9 or 10. My mo showed it to me because she saw how much I wanted to do it again. I have been watching hew work that machine for hours and I guess she got tired and decided to teach me. The first thing she actually taught me was
threading a singer sewing machine. I still remember how to do it all those years later because she had made me do it again and again. Honestly I am glad that she taught me at all though. She is an amazing seamstress. Most of the clothes I own were made either by me or by her. I think that it is am amazing skill to have and super useful. I think every girl should learn how to sew. And honestly the machines like that are amazing. If you have one never throw it away. Better restore it.
