Re: Teach Yourself to Sew

I spent a wonderful weekend with my niece in Cambridge, MA last week. She is a novice sewer and we made an insulated grocery bag together. It was delightful being able to share my sewing passion with her.

Thanks so much for Threads magazine and a new way to nurture a love of sewing for everyone.
