I am a Mom of 2 girls, ages 2 & 3 and ever since they were born I've had tons of sewing project ideas running around in my head, but I have no idea how to sew on a machine. (I don't own one yet either). Do you know of any places in northern NJ that teach sewing to beginners? I'm looking for something that isn't too pricey, and something I don't have to commit to. I love your passion for sewing, and I think it is hobby I would love to pick up!<br />Thank you so much :-)<br /><br />Julie from PatersonJeweloftheNilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519296461238135141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-14780753645145485962010-06-14T08:09:22.026-04:002010-06-14T08:09:22.026-04:00Here is this NJ 50 year old guy, Freehold, looking...Here is this NJ 50 year old guy, Freehold, looking to take beginner sewing classes also.<br />Any tips please to a good class?
