My great grandmother taught me to sew clothes for my dolls from fabric scraps when I was 8 years old. When I was a young woman I made clothes for myself, and made a few things for my daughter and her dolls when she was little. I never became highly skilled. I stopped sewing around 20 years ago and recently decided to start sewing again. I've been amazed at how much I enjoy it. Even though I have made clothes before, I still consider myself very much a beginniner.
I found this website when I was looking for a tutorial on how to alter jackets. I bought some men's jackets at a thrift shop with the intention of learning how a tailored jacket is put together. Now I want to alter them so I can wear them. They actually fit pretty well except in the shoulders and back. I am learning a lot from the videos on how to alter the shoulders and am looking forward to viewing all the other videos on constructing and altering garments.Nehzat is an excellent teacher.
Dear altamira55
Welcome to our site. Thanks so much for the kind words.
I have learned a lot of sewing from my own mother and aunts. They were a great influence on me and gave me the joy I find in sewing. It is never too late to learn a new skill or brush up on what you already know. I think that you should be able to learn more by watching our videos. Please share your work with us.
Happy sewing,
Nehzat
