Hello and greetings. This is my first post. I’ve finally completely my first successful project from a vintage pattern. I’ve been teaching myself to sew in earnest for about a year and recently it started to really click. Things seem a bit easier and I’ve conquered my frustration – now the challenges seem like a fun puzzle instead of an insurmountable impossibility. For the complete story, see my new blog, Projects and Preoccupations, to journal my learning progress.
