How About Some Really Tiny Stitches?
Forgive me, I know this doesn’t have anything to do with knitting, but I’m very excited about my new sewing machine. I haven’t sewn in (many!) years, but I’m sure it’ll be as easy as falling off a bike. I even got a simple pattern-designing book that seems like it will go far in helping me figure out how to make things fit and look the way I want them to. After I get started with it, I might blog a little about my sewing projects on another part of this site for anyone who likes that sort of thing. I have some ideas for clothes I want to make, but I have to practice sewing in a straight line for a little while first…

Ooo, sewing!
My mom bought me a sewing machine for Christmas, and I’ve yet to use it. I have a ton of fabric and a few patterns, and just haven’t been able to put down my knitting long enough to do anything with it. I hope I hope I hope to make something soon.
To answer your question on my blog: This talks some about what it is (see “Crochet on the Double”). It’s also similar to Tunisian croichet, which I kinda know how to do.

I’m interested. I would love to hear more about your machine, because this sewing virgin is in the market for a machine. I”m actually planning on taking an intro to sewing class.

My mom actually picked out my sewing machine for me, it’s a Janome Memory Craft 3000, and I got it from allbrands(dot com). They have good deals on that site - you should definitely check prices online to compare to store prices. Of course, Brother and Singer are two other good brands. That’s great that you want to learn to sew - it’s a lot of fun!
