Sew Confused! 09/29/2008
Tonight begins the first evening of a once-a-week sewing and quilting class I signed up for this past week at the local high school. We're promised 3 hours of personalized instruction on our own machines doing any project we care to bring...I couldn't have asked for a more tailor-made course to my liking! Soooo why today am I this nervous, giddy, confused ninny...floundering around looking for that precise project I'm dying to finish...or even learn how to do...???!!! Should I start on a simple jumper dress...or try to do my first quilt from start to finish... or complete those adorable prairie bonnets and pinafores the girls have been craving for months now.... or how about that little cloth doll pattern that's got me too intimidated to even pull out of the package...when it's SO much easier just to look at the cute picture on the front...??? My dream of dreams, of course, is to make quilts like Anna Maria...or swinging skirts like Portabellopixie...or lovely bags like these on Turkey Feathers Homecraft. My husband asked me this morning what I was so nervous about...he said something like, "What...do you think you're not good enough to actually teach the class? Of course you don't know what you're doing...that's why you're going...right?" Well...yeah...if you put it that way. But I just know that no one will be as clued out and clutsy as I am!! That's all.
