My MIL bought me a sewing machine for Christmas, and I've attempted to use it a few times but feel way overwhelmed. I found some community sewing classes shortly after I got my machine, but then they were canceled because the instructor left and they couldn't find a replacement. We got our community newsletter yesterday and the classes are back on starting in September. I am SO excited to finally get schooled on sewing!

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
