    It's a design element. I think they are quite stylish!

    Well if you decide not to wear them out in public, they ill always work for wearing when doing yard work, or relaxing. if you make it why not wear it. I have to giggle sounds like something my daughter (who doesn't sew) would do. I have a dear friend that I am teaching to sew, not garments, but quilting and she has really taken to it, she has made 8 jelly roll quilts since the last part of November. This week I hope to teach her how to bind a quilt, all of these have just been pillow cased I call them (turned inside out) and tied.

    I like your sense of humor! But, I think there is hope for your sewing future because you have a marvelous sense of humor. I was one of those home economics teachers. I had great success with some students; but, there were other who would have been happier in shop. One year I had boys who didn't want to be in shop and they were lots of fun to teach. Happy sewing!

    first of all, great lounging and pj pants. The difference in sewing back in the day and now is called You Tube along with lots of other places. to be honest other than fabric being wrong side out on one side, you did a good job. Along with you tube there are teachers like Peggy Seagers from Silhouttepatterns.com, she does weekly videos, she also has all of her web cast posted on her site so you can see everything she's done for the past couple of years. She's really great and Angela Wolf is also great; I'm starting a sew along with her now making my first pair of jeans. Both of these ladies have great fitting patterns as well. Craftsy.com is also great, they even have several free mini classes. Right now they are selling DVD's for the classes for a great price.

    Have you thought about taking classes. Not sure what all you have in your part of VA but Tidewater sew n vac has great classes on sewing. I've actually been playing with the idea of teaching for them part time. I'm into quilting, embroidery, just getting back into garment sewing after a 20 yr break and things have changed so much. Good luck.

    Not so much learn to sew, you can sew great. Maybe a lesson on how to read a pattern. The picture lay out has everything you need to know, the grain line, which pieces are right side up, which are cut on the fold, and how to fold the fabric for the size fabric you have, directional or non directional. Craftsy has a sewing pattern classes.
