I've been sewing my own clothes since the 3rd grade, a long time ago. I was taught by my Mother, the public school system and my own experimentation, reading and learning. Having had to work all of my life I had only the opportunity to sew garments for working. I dabble in home dec., arts and crafts and outdoor gear but my passion is garments. Now, no longer having to go to the office every day, I am finally getting the opportunity to challenge my inner artist and having a blast.

Re: There's More to See in this Great Sewing Studio
I wish there was a better solution to putting a spot of light exactly where I need it. I am having more and more trouble working with dark thread on dark fabrics. Especially black on black on black which I can hardly see anymore even with my readers on. So I wear a head lamp (in addition to my readers), the kind you would wear while walking or working outdoors. Its not at all attractive but gets the job done. Sure I have the otto light, among others, but more things on the sewing deck don't make for a smooth operation. It would be really great if my readers had spot lights. Now that's an idea!
