Using a sewing machine
I am redecorating a new apartment and bought a sewing machine to avoid the cost of sending out window treatments, slip covers etc. Use to sew about 18 years ago but always had my sister do my bobbins and thread my needles. Now I am learning to do everything by myself. A great book for beginners like me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
