I am looking for sewing ideas. I need help making purses, pillows, and things for the home. I would also like to make recycled bags for grocery shopping. I am a beginning sewer. I have made rice bags and a few pillows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since I tried to sew on my new sewing machine I have had so much trouble with the thread clumping on the bottom of the material that I got discouraged in trying to do this.
I have tried adjusting the tension on the top part and still no luck.
I am so happy that you are going to sew.
It's really worth the effort.

You could also check with your local library and see if they offer classes. Our library has quilting classes and other "craft" classes.

Take a long look at a shopping bag in the store and you'll figure it out.

A good site for beginners is www.about.com. They have many different categories, so just search for sewing, etc. You should be able to find instructions there.
