I've always had a thing with sewing machines and they've almost always had a bad thing for me, never been a good mix. Lately I've been throwing all my fears aside and just tackling the thing head on. I think my fear is GONE! LoL!
I'm still no good at paterns. I think I'll be better at altering already made items and going by easy tutorials, but those patterns are all mumbo jumbo to me.
I'm in love with this blog: Ruffles & Stuff (http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/)
When I saw the knee high socks tutorial (http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/2009/12/tiny-tights-to-knee-high-socks.html)and the word "easy" I thought - go for it! Now I want to make a ton of these things for my daughter!
Then she posted a blog on what to do with the cast offs from the tights and thought, gotta try that too!!
Bubble Skirt (http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/2009/12/bubble-skirt-from-tights-scraps.html)
Of course I had to make a matching hair accessorie to match the skirt!
It's taken me time to learn and self teach, but it's really rewarding when I see my daughter wearing things that I created!
