Thanks everybody. I found a great fabric/sewing store nearby that I will visit. When I was little, 6 or 7 my next door neighbor made me a little sailor dress. I thought it was so cool I would watch her sew for hours. I would love to one day make my grandson a shirt or something. Even pillowcases will do. My patience will be challenged, is it bad to listen to the Grateful Dead while sewing? I'm thinking some 10,000 maniacs. That's good sewing music!
