I retired from the RCAF after 23 years and I am presently employed as a firefighter. I decided that I needed to learn sewing after being quoted an outrageous price for making a simple boat cover.
I am more interested in the drafting side of sewing, and I use Optitex to draw my patterns. But I am finding that my sewing skills are not allowing me to keep up to my pattern design projects. YouTube has good information, but you have to sift through too many videos to get to the ones that you need. I figure I would give this site a try.
I like both projects that I signed up for and I am looking forward to completing these classes. Not many men on here however.... ;-)
I have a wife and 2 daughters with very different tastes in fashion, so it's keeps me guessing what my next project will be!
