I've always pinned because that was how Mrs Portwain taught me to sew in 1983 and I didn't know anyone did anything else until I saw Sewing Bee so I'm kind of intrigued by pattern weights but also I am scared of slicing myself with a rotary cutter so I am also worried about trying it. I do one day want to sew my own pants though. But in cotton not stretch.

My sewing opportunities are even more limited by homeschooling going on all over my kitchen table but I am contemplating claiming Eldest's bedroom while she isn't here.
