A class in sewing

So tonight continues my adventures in sewing. As many already know I am in to all things Victorian and at the top of that list is Victorian fashions and ballroom dancing. Over the years I have acquired a few gowns made by others that I have used. But now I think I am ready to strike out on my own and explore making these gorgeous gowns myself. I found a wonderful site in TrulyVictorian.com. They have wonderful patterns that are historically correct and reviewed as being on the easier side. They also have a board of fellow sewers that are wonderfully supportive.

It was from this board that last year I acquired a vintage workhorse of a sewing machine from a lovely lady (Thanks Miss Cindy). I then took a few sewing classes on getting to know my machine and how to read patterns. Unfortunately not long after did i decide to move to North Carolina, so alas the sewing had to be put aside for a bit. Well I am now settled here and ready to pick up where I left off.

So tonight begins the new adventure! I am off to the first of three nights where at the end of it I am promised a finished garment (a button up shirt). My first complete project. I am excited and will post as I go. Wish me luck.
