I have never kept a journal and have sometimes regretted it - especially when I am learning something new. I thought it would be a good idea to record my journey on the road to learning to sew and blogging is an ideal way to keep my thoughts organised and to remember how far I have come - hopefully :-). This is my first *real* foray into sewing and my first attempt at blogging.
