My parents bought us a sewing machine over the holidays. I am VERY excited to use it, but I'm not quite sure where to start.My mom helped me make a skirt, but now that I'm on my own, I want to start with something a little more basic since I am a newbie to the sewing world. I have been wanting an apron, and I've seen some pretty cute ones for LOADS of money. But I'm hoping I can tackle sewing one myself.
That's all I have in mind for the time being. I think eventually I'll try sewing curtains and crib skirt for Norah's room. And maybe some other cute stuff for her. I came across some sewing blogs in the past but never payed much attention to them because I didn't have any desire to sew. Now that I have the machine, I want to learn. Are there any blogs/sites people may recommend or other sewing tips that might be useful to me? I am usually pretty good at following tutorials and stuff on the internet. So I am hoping to get the sewing machine out of the closet soon and actually START sewing. Wish me luck! :)

My only advice is that you only really need one skirt pattern. They are all pretty much the same. I love to sew!! Good luck!

Good Luck. I've never had the desire to sew but now that I have a little girl I would love to make things for her and for her room. I'm just not that crafty. :-)
