Sewing Class

I woke up with only 3 hours of sleep excited for my sewing class today. I packed my sewing machine in my car along with fabric I got on sale and 40% off with a coupon with the anticipation of learning how to use my sewing machine to make pretty pretty things.

My class consisted of 4 people. One other person brought their sewing machine and the other 2 used machines that were provided. I was glad I brought my own because I really want to learn how to use it and when I was playing with it previously I was having issues with the bottom thead snapping. (I was trying to sew a zipper)

Well, I was so excited. My teacher had been sewing for years (since she was 12). I  was so happy to finally get to learn with hands on experience from someone who knew what they were doing.

That was until she mentioned that the sewing machine I purchased was probably not the best choice. I was devastated. And if by magic, or just to prove her point, I had nothing but fits with it nearly the entire length of the class while everyone else sat and played with stitches and sewing techniques. :( BOOOOO

Why do I have to be so impulsive and why do I not research things before I make purchases? I learned my lesson. Needless to say I now have a different sewing machine in mind that I would like to purchase....a long with a wedding dress, wedding venue, dj......and so on and so forth.

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

On a lighter note....I did learn a thing or 2 about sewing patterns today! I can't wait to try one out!!! :)
