Why is finding a sewing class so hard in nyc
I have 3 functioning brain cells Whenever I look at a pattern my poorly formed prefrontal cortex gets confused Why are there so many needles What are those guitar pick like things for I could find a class on anything else that has everything you need from the get go Yet sewing is such a highly gaurded skill that it's actually incredibly frustrating to find something comprehensive.

Here in So Cal where I live sewing, tailoring, and fashion design are all available from continuing ed/adult ed (free), trade school (expensive like FIDM but there are so many in NY), and community college (moderate price depending). There are some independent home ec studios that hold weekly classes too. The University of YouTube ‘UofT’ is free. I struggle being self taught. There are times when I wish I had a mentor that I could talk to, to ask questions. Sadly many patterns are confusing and despite being good at solving these puzzles I must still read something 8 times and then be frustrated and try, and sometimes have to rip a seem and try again. Planning to take a sewing or tailoring class this fall at San Diego City College. I want to take a patterning class. I got some good initial advice from books. Learning the vernacular was essential in following instruction. But then all the little techniques either from books or UofT.

The finished bag!
It has taken about a week to make this bag start to finish. I’m still very much a novice, so an expert could probably crank one of these out in a couple of days

I made this lolita dress myself
I’m a guy and very comfortable that way but I do enjoy sewing and cute things are for everybody. So I made this lolita dress a while back and it turned out really good! I wore it to a convention and a lot of people liked it. #sewing #lolitafashion (edited)

I was going through some old photos. Came across this, we were broke but my mom made this dress.
I hope I showed her the appropriate amount of appreciation probably didn't being a young man. Hope its appropriate to share.

This package of needles was at least 50 years old. I've had it my whole life since I started sewing. This week, my sofa ripped and I went to get my upholstery needle only to find I'd apparently THROWN IT OUT when we moved last year. Cruelly discarded just when I needed it!!

I decided to start posting what I've been working on because it gives me a bit of a chance to reach other sewers, crafters the like! It is quite difficult to try to meet new friends who are in the same interests. As such making accessories for outfits or Cosplays or both. I do wish there was more... read more
