Looking for Sewing 101 Help! Please

So Mother's Day I was given what I believe to be a very nice sewing machine. Especially seeing I do NOT know how to sew. It is something I've been wanting to do. It was one of those circler things. I don't' know how to sew, so why spend the money on a sewing machine? I can't learn how to sew if I don't have a sewing machine? See the circle?

Anyway so I have this new sewing machine, but I'm totally clueless on how to use it. I would like to learn. This was brought to light again today when I spotted patterns at Goodwill for 10 cents. I so wanted to get it, but seeing I'm clueless and don't know what I'm doing I stopped myself.

So I'm asking my followers, some of whom I KNOW can sew because I've seen it on your blogs!! How can THIS LEFTY learn?? (I threw the fact I'm a lefty out there because I've learn after 30 years that in some cases it makes a difference in "how" you are taught or do things).

Please help? And if you can't help please spread the word that this Mama is wanting to learn? Thanks everyone!!! (Oh and IF I had someone local I wouldn't be asking on the net).

It's Lefty Day!

I saw this little tid-bit on Hilltop Farms and I just HAD to share! I HAD to share because I AM Lefty!!!

It's International Lefty Day!

Why is there International Lefty Day? Well Here are just a few of the reasons:

• To raise awareness of left-handedness and the challenges caused by living in such a right-handed world.
• Educate designers and manufacturers to accommodate left-handers’ comfort and safety in new product and building design
• and well just so we can unite! We must stand together!!! (cheesy smile)
  

There is so much I can do now without even thinking about it! However, I know many things like learning to write was a huge challenge and forget about trying to sharped a pencil at school. I remember being in 1st grade an loathing, hating needing to sharpen my pencil because well I couldn't get that darn pencil sharpener to work right!!
