Though I have had some small sewing projects in school, I never really learned to sew. I can't cut or stitch a straight line and I am not mechanically inclined, so getting proper tension on the thread, threading the machine, winding the bobbin, all big obstacles to sewing. Before Ian was born, I made a crib skirt and quilt with the help of my mom and friend, Heather. My mom is much more precise about laying out the fabric correctly and pressing the seams. That paralyzed me even more.
I've had a simple pillowcase dress pattern for months that I have been unable to get myself to make for the reasons listed above. I think I am finally starting to realize that it doesn't matter if it is perfect, I just need to do it. The pattern is very forgiving as is the cotton fabric, so I am trying to just get it done. The pattern was a PDF so I got it printed and put together and then I cut it out. Now it is pinned together and ready to be stitched.
So the question is, how long will it take me to wind and load the bobbin, thread the machine and stitch?

I know you can do it! How about you get it done before I get back to Korea? I am leaving in the morning and it will probably take me around 4 or 5 days to get back...
the bobbins at the px are the wrong size. i may have to make baby legs to use up the thread on the bobbin so i can reload for the dress
