1985 Sewing School | Lesson 2 | Allllll about the Sewing Machine | Kenmore mini ultra

Please join the Sewing Schoolhouse! Let’s learn (or relearn) how to sew together like it’s 1985!

This series will be quite long with lots of content. I will use timestamps in all of them and they will be cumulative based on how the books are laid out and my own personal sewing experience. Posting day will be Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. (CST).
I am using my collection of vintage sewing books (1972,1979 and 1985) to master the basics (relearning to sew, basically) and break some bad sewing habits I have allowed myself to use over the years.

Be sure and subscribe so you don’t miss a hang out session!

Get Caught up!
