Hi all! I'm just getting started, and was led here by Kate (thanks Kate!). I'm off to check out sewing machines tomorrow and am armed with the sewing machine FAQ. I have bought "The Idiots Guide to Sewing", and am going to order the Reader's Digest book from Amazon as I can't seem to get it in Australia.
Now I'm probably getting ahead of myself (not have acutally *bought* a machine yet), but I'm looking at patterns. I like some of the dresses from Vogue, and am wondering what the skill difference is between "Easy" and "Very Easy"? I can read a pattern, and have sewed before, but have never attempted to alter a pattern to fit me before, and so have always ended up with illfitting things in bad fabrics. I'm going to attempt to remedy this, but want to start slow.
Thanks for any advice you might have for me. I'm sure I'll be back when I'm all set up....
Julie.
