I also take trades!


Sooo, this has been on my mind for some time now, but I want to to ask some questions to the people will my list who so


1. Where did you learn/who taught to how to sew? (Was it your grandmother or mother, did you teach yourself, books from the library?)
2. If you read any books, what were the two most helpful books for you? (Ok, I know everyone probably has a list a mile-long, but there has to be a least to holy grails you always come back to.)
3. Have you had any classes/courses? These could be any course is, so long as they're related to sewing, or fashion. (Additionally, where did you take these classes/courses?)
4. If so, what classes/courses have you had?
5. Were they worth the time and money you put towards them?
6. Would you recommend classes/courses to others?
7. Anything else you'd like to add, please feel free.
