Crochet, Sewing and Crafty Grrl in General

I want to get back to doing more crafts. I used to crochet granny squares but now I have forgotten how. My new roommate knows how to sew so I can finally get someone to help me learn how to use the sewing machine I got for Christmas just before the divorce. I was using it for a short time and doing ok. Can't even remember how to thread it now. If it's a choice of getting old or getting stupid I pick old. :D

Might make plans for a crafty weekend my next couple of days off. Bring out those masses of buttons, the Raggedy Ann pattern and the half finished doll I was making a few years ago, find the sewing machine which was put away somewhere during the most recent move. I'd like to get making things again. Finally learn to use the sewing machine. I've got a great pattern for a dress suit to make, in jersey fabric so it is stretchy and comfortable for a plus size dame like myself. Also has the plus of being very washable too. I'm not a fan of taking anything to the dry cleaners.

I love crafting (mostly knitting and crocheting) myself, so it's great to meet another crafter online. There's a great website for crocheters/knitters that you might be interested in checking out - Ravelry.
