I need home ec again.
I am not a crafty, make my own sweaters or clothes kinda mom. My friend Shell knits and crochets, a lot of bloggers I know do as well. They also sew.
My knowledge in sewing is one china jacket made in the 8th grade. It was cream with blue satin trim. And a pillow made in 10th grade. It was a huge green frog.
Don't ask me why I made the frog pillow, I just did.
I have no sewing supplies at home at all.
Ok, that's a lie.
I have one of those little plastic case kits you get in the laundry aisle at the grocery store.
I have always wanted to learn how to use the new machines, and have seen some really nice sewing machines that I would adore to learn how to use.
They look so mom-like ya know?
I'm such a non-traditional mom, that I feel bad I don't know how to crochet hats and scarves, and I don't have a sewing machine to hem pant legs and stuff.
Anyone remember the wedding fiasco with Mark's pants at George's wedding a few years ago?
Oy!
I mean what's wrong with me?
All moms are supposed to be able to, at the very least, sew!
Right?
At the bare minimum, I should at least have a real sewing kit right?
I like this one. It looks like it would have everything a beginner sewer should have.
Not to mention, a mom should have.
Man, I am such a non-mom kinda mom.
This also reminds me.
I need to get band-aids at the store tomorrow.

You cannot be fabulous AND also crafty. So pick one.

If it is any comfort. I know how to sew but don't!
As for hems, (Clothes and Curtains) I use the iron on tape. Works like a charm and really holds up too.
If you loose a button, well then, you just out of luck..lol
If you did yourself a sewing machine, I would go with an old one. (an old singer). They still work just as well and without all the other gadgets.
