Nothing can be more motivating and inspiring than a candid, frank, funny teacher to boost the interest of the lpeople who wants to learn how to sew. Truly, sewing is hard to the uninitiated and has in fact seen its days. It is now a lost art - the art of home sewing. Which is why it has become a rarity nowadays - to meet someone who knows how to sew-a reason why I am venturing in it.
