introduction
the first time i remember using a sewing machine was many years ago when i went with my mom to a sewing class at joann fabrics and we made pillow cases! since then i've graduated from pillow cases; and have learned all about pattern designing, the different methods used to build costumes, and have eternal back pain from sitting at my sewing machine.
