So excited. My name is Ivrie and I live near the Central Coast in California. I have to say taht I'm a very beginner beginner when it comes to sewing. I have a beginner machine and am self taught. I've attempted heming my own pants and making a few things here and there. I really would like to learn more, but have a hard time finding a sewing class near by. I hope to get tips, ideas and just chat w/you all!

Hi Ivrie from a fellow Californian. I'm down in the mtns outside of San Diego but we go to SLO, Morro Bay, etc. often when we want to get away. Love it up there.

Welcome and you'll love it here. Bunches of info and kind hearted souls.

c'ya, Lennie

Hi Cali

I'm not from California - I'm not even from America! I'm English living in Glasgow, Scotland. I'm also new to the site (in the last week) and so far everyone has been great in regards to my constant queries and questions (thank you ladies very much).

I'm newish to sewing - on/off for 20+ years but am attempting to get back into it with gusto and I love the feeling of it.

I'm positive you will have a lot of fun on here.

With blessings

Charlotte
