    I have a double closet in my sewing room. I purchased the easy to install "Quik hang" curtain brackets, a curtain rod the length of my closet that fits the brackets. I install on my top molding of the closet. I bought a wide piece of flannel with the grid, sewed a rod pocket. Viola! The rod/brackets do not hinder the opening and closing of my closet because they are above the doors. I can bring the flannel to the side and use a tieback when not in use. Also, I got the wide grid flannel for block placement, but I wish I had purchased a more coordinated flannel to match my decor. But, I still love it.

    You did a fantastic job! Most first projects are things like simple aprons! I’m 78 and started sewing when I was 3. Doll clothes came early and most of that was just playing around with it. The summer after 3rd grade, mid 1950s, so full skirts, I made my first dress and changed it quite a bit. I did have help from my mother,though! She put in the zipper and hemmed it. Speaking of zippers, if you can find a Simplicity Sewing Book, you will have a great reference book! When you get to the stage of needing to sew in a zipper, I still refer to the instructions on the paper that they come in. Save it for reference so you can use other brands afterwards if you want. Good luck. You can do it! I have a feeling that you are quite capable of doing more and enjoying the process!

      @@StitchingaPath My kids all decided they knew how to sew so would not listen to me - until they got married and were trying things! LOL! One really likes to sew and has done very well - meticulous! She did eventually want to move on from quilts and started making zippered bags. They are actually a good place to start since they are small. She found info on YT, of course, and finally called me. We watched the same video together and I would tell her more specific info than the video had. The more you do something, the less you remember to mention it! She is making a dress with a lapped zipper now - back zipper with the zipper completely covered. It is the one that is the hardest, I think. An extra generous seam allowance in the zipper area makes it a lot easier. You machine baste the part of the seam where the zipper goes, so it helps to mark the seam line, the cut it wider. Practicing on something small is a very good idea. Practicing frogging one isn't a bad idea, either. You seam ripperS are your friends! They are just sewing erasers. I have several different types!

    I’ve got a little hexie quilt on the go, 1” patches. The design is single round multi coloured flowers with paths of pale grey, and I’ve found a lovely grey backing that has irregular coloured 1/4” multicoloured dots, but it’s too small a piece. So I’m going to do a hexie pieced border around the backing to coordinate. And I was also wondering about how to quilt it because of the seam allowances. It will get washed a lot and I don’t want them bunching up inside the quilt. So rather than quilt too closely, I stitched all the folds at the corners while folding them over the papers, and those sts remain after the papers come out. Hopefully that will keep the bulk neatly in place and I can quilt a bit wider apart.

    • @StitchingaPath

It sews very well - although has been tended to by someone who reconditions these machines. He’s said “never get rid of the old machines, they’re gold”. But sewing clothes freaks me out.

    Is it bad that I like watching you struggle? It’s reassuring that I’m not the only one, lol. But, to let you know, turning the tie is NOT the easiest part. Turning something that narrow makes me talk like a sailor. All I’ve ever used is a knitting needle. One day I’ll get one of those fancy new turny thingys. Btw, making the waistband wide is what made it so ruffled, but using the already finished edge from the sheet was genius!

      Ah, the light that you have shed on my sewing mysteries is so illuminating haha! That waistband thing had me puzzled. I still wear them anyways because they are super comfy! Thanks for watching!
