New Projects

I start my sewing class tonight and I'm super excited!  I've made a few sewing projects in the past and recently finished my Christmas quilt.  However, I'm not a sewing pro like my mom or sister.  I need a lot of help and encouragement along the way.  I found out that since I bought my sister's Bernina, and she previously bought it from Nuttalls way back when, I'm able to take the introductory classes for free.  Bonus for me!

A few months ago my mom received a new Bernina and she will be taking the class with me.  Yay for not having to go by myself!  I'm excited to learn all about my machine and how to do more things. It'll be nice to have my mom with me in case I feel like a moron and need some extra help.  Side note.....I'm REALLY hoping that some of the other people in the class will be stupider than me, cause ya know, it's never fun to be the dumbest one in the class.  To make myself feel better I looked through the workbook with all of the different lessons I'll be learning.  I found quite a few things that I already know how to do.

The part I'm not looking forward to is the class is 3 hours!  Yes, 3 hours!  I have to sit in a chair and somewhat pay attention for 3 freaking hours!  Did I mention I have severe ADD (I diagnosed myself...hehe).  The class will be for the next 4 Mondays....3 hours each....making a total of 12 hours.  That sounds like a lot of hours and a LOT of sitting!  Wish me luck. :)

Don't worry about being the dumbest person there. I promise you won't be. When I took my class there were 2 ladies who hadn't even taken it out of the box yet. They were really clueless...couldn't even thread the machine! Bring a treat just in case you get hungry.
