My heart's desires are chaniging in lots of ways, but one of them is to sew my own skirts and dresses.  I need simple patterns ( I am definitely a beginner!).  I do have a sewing machine, but I have not used it in some time.  If I remember correctly, it wasn't working right then.  The bottom stiching wasn't holding.  Is anyone familiar with this problem?

God bless you richly!
