Hi Ozarkgirle here am new today to threads newsletter and have read all the comments. This is going to be great I will be 50 this year and I use to make all my own clothes my sewing teachers could not keep up with me and let me go off on my own. I have sewed since my nana taught me when I was about three to make doll clothes by hand. I can't wait to get my first newsletter and hopefully someday soon I can afford to subscribe to the magazine. You all sound like a wonderful authentic community of persons and am excited to get back to sewing and will put forth input when I can Ozarkgirle. Have a great Weekend!!!!!!
