Good for you for the sewing lessons! I've been able to bang out some really cool things with only the knowledge gained from an - wait for it - EIGTH GRADE Home Economics class! Dude, I wish I could write that teacher and thank her. I never made anything I could wear in that class, but I am rockin some cool things for my baby now. I too would really like to take lessons because I get really stuck and have to go on instinct. I have been totally using the wrong needles for the wrong kinds of fabrics, for example and don't know a darned thing about tension, doing cirlcles, surging and using those fancy zig zag stitches and don't even get me started on zippers! I am excited for you Dirt. Can I call you Dirt? :-) I know your name has to be here somewhere, I've just never found it or looked for it. lol! So not being so experienced, I don't have very much to offer myself. I could take some pictures of stuff I would be willing to give you in exchange for some herbs... What a great idea! Cheers!
