    sewing is a fun hobby. I started when the world was shut down. watched a bunch of youtube to learn how. Sewing machines are intimidating but really not that hard once you get into it.

      I do remember using a pedal, and I don’t remember it being too hard. I do recall, however, one of the troublemakers in class would put the pedal to the metal and the teacher would give him an earful.

      What are some of the things that you’ve sewn? I need a little inspiration, maybe it’s time I pick it up as a hobby and not just for school.

        as I lost weight, I tailored all of my clothes. I do some wood working too so I’ve made bags, tool rolls, etc… I just bought a pattern for a blue jean jacket and I’m going to use my old fat pants to make a jacket. Blue jean jackets are very expensive right now for some reason, even used. The pattern was $15 on ebay, and the material I already have.
