I enjoy hand sewing, finding it very relaxing, and I'm trying to get into more hand sewing and embroidery as my daughters are involved in more activities where I am sitting around waiting for them to be done. As I have worked on increasing my hand sewing proficiency over the years, the book in this picture has been a great help, since sewing for me is backward from the way you so-called "normal" people do it. I'd like to find a book on doing embroidery stitches left-handed, because I'm experiencing frustration trying to make attractive stitches right now. Maybe it just needs practice.

Ach!
I worked in a costume shop to help pay my way through college. I hated sewing by hand (probably because I was not any good at it.) Whenever people weren't watching I found ways to do just about everything by machine.
I was aslo horrible at ironing. And washing. No wonder they were excited when I left.
Barb!
I'm also sinister.
Woo hoo! I knew I liked you, Scottius!
Father, working in a costume shop is one of my ideas of a dream job! :)
Alas Barb, I am adroit, and dextrous, or just plain right.
My condolences on the NCAA final...I was pulling for the Buckeyes.
Thanks for the condolences, Kerner. I'm not a huge Buckeyes fan, but there is such a thing as state pride.
You righties! I know so many of you!
