I practiced with my sewing machine for the first time since my lesson last week. I had to download the manual for my Janome Magnolia 7318 (guess who cannot remember where the print one went) but it's still magic that it winds the bobbin for you. I wound SO MANY bobbins (probably very badly) for my mom. :)

Today's report is:
Me: Huh, I was great at sewing accurately and straight as a beginner, but right now it's ALL OVER THE PLACE and the tension feels weird?

Also me, five minutes later: OH. THE PRESSER FOOT WAS UP. :facepalm: :p

I'm hoping to practice some more and then book a "reading patterns, how do??" lesson Fair Fit Studio (Baton Rouge, Louisiana, local to me) as I loved the instructor's "baby steps n00b sewing machine 101, how do??" lesson. :D And then maybe I can destroy some innocent cheap muslin trying to sew a thing. :D

What are y'all working on, or hoping to try in January?

I mean. (a) As a 001-level sewer, I'm not sure I-the-mod could tell the difference between "beginner with some experience vs. 1337 SKILZ!!!" ;) (b) WE NEED Y'ALL'S HELP ;)

For example, my friend storme is probably busy/lurking but they're an expert tailor. :p

Honestly if it's sewing-related at all (or even allied things like bobbin lace!) and you're not spamming the comm 200 times a day with different individual top-level posts, it's fine. :)
