I am a member of Sewing in the UK on FB. As others have said loads of advice if you need it.
I have always done sewing but it drifted off over the years as you could buy clothes cheap but material was/is expensive. I used to sew my children's clothes for next to nothing but you can't do that anymore.
I live near a market so can still get bargains. Bought a new Janome machine about 4 years ago now and have used it a lot. I make stuff for myself and have made dresses for my granddaughter to.
Going on the Sewing FB page gave me the idea to take a pattern from something that fitted OK, a top and to make others from that. I altered the sleeves, neck line, added ties and collars just to make them all different.
I also plucked up the courage to try knitted fabric and mainly use that now.
Anyway good luck bet you'll enjoy it once you're into it.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
