This is lovely, I love the whole family thing, my mum didn't have the patience to teach us anything (although, fair's fair, she had six children under ten and still worked full-time for all but eight years from when she was fourteen until she retired at seventy). I was completely glued to those sewing machines, inspecting every element. i agree with you, you're better with a high quality basic machine when you're starting to learn, rather than a toy or compact machine. I don't know how I learned to sew, I must have picked up something from lessons at school, but by the time I was fifteen I was making my own clothes, adapting retro ball-gowns from jumble sales into party frocks and had a collection of hand and treadle Singer sewing machines picked up for a song in second-hand shops. I have no idea what happened to them!
I hope you enjoy your learning, I'm sure you will, your mum looks lovely and I'm sure she is an excellent teacher. So exciting 😎!

Thanks so much @shanibeer! It is nice being a able to learn with family. 😊 Wow oh wow blessings to your mother! She is quite a woman! Yea those toy machines don’t do well at all. Wow that is awesome that you were already making your own clothes at that age. That’s truly inspiring...I will share this with my daughter.
Thanks so much for the encouragement ~ ☺️
I was thinkng about yu last night when I was at my new sewing class. Hope everything is going well 😊
Awww thank you. It’s going well. She has something lined up for us tonight that we will actually be sewing. I’ll have my camera ready ;)
