Good luck, Josie! I'd love an industrial sewing machine. My "regular" machine has a dickens of a time trying to hem blue jeans.
I used to make all of my clothes but stopped because fabric is so expensive, not to mention notions. However, I think pretty much everything out in the stores these days is ugly, so I'm going to have to start sewing again.
Today's styles were ugly in the 1970's and they're ugly today.

Oh, and speaking of sewing....I ordered new drapes from JCPenney's. They were 80% off! I have eight pairs of them! Guess why they were 80% off? When I opened the packages, they were cut and pressed. Someone forgot to actually SEW them. That's right, they are just cut fabric panels. I'm going to run them through the sewing machine but there was NO word whatsoever in the ad about them being "imperfect" or unsewn. However, I saved over $200 so I'm going to live with it.

wha happened?
My sister in law went to FIDM. For those in the industry they will recognize her school. Transcripts are easy to get here in Cali. I applied for transcripts from a Jr College I attended in 1985. They had them and for a small fee sent them to me.

I went to FIDM too (graduated in 1990) so I'm hoping this will be easy to do.

Thanks Ann. Since I've been back in California I've been able to fine the neatest patternmaking items at second hand stores. I've found two patternmaking kits, one by a man named Dusan and another by a company called Lutterloh. I've also found an old Singer buttonholer attachment. It doesn't have an instruction booklet but I was able to find a pdf of one online.
Happy sewing!
