Watching the Great British Sewing Bee and I have envy.
I got a sewing machine a few years ago but blew the dust off this year. I've learnt to thread it and "knocked up" some bunting and basic curtains for dd's playhouse a few weeks ago. It's all a bit made up and I don't see how to make what feels like a huge jump from knowing almost nothing now to being able to sew nice things. There are loads of projects and videos online but it's a bit overwhelming and I don't know where to start.
I live in a fairly small town with no sewing classes and work ft so my free time / potential sewing time I after the toddler's bedtime.
Any tips / suggestions of how to move forward?
