    Wow. As a total beginner to sewing, I truly appreciate your approach in this tutorial. I have a sewing machine in my home and I am terrified of it. Actually, I have two machines but one of them is from the late 1800’s—passed on from generations in my family. It’s funny because even this old one was never used. From what I understand, my great, great, (probably add another great) grandma didn’t know how to sew. I guess it runs in the family…lol Thanks for a great tutorial!!
