Hello,
I've started to learn basic sewing technique this morning. As of now, I can
thread a needle with a large eye and make the knot. My Mum is helping me
while I learn the whys and wherefors. There's no shame in using sighted
help. I know people who have arthritis and I've helped with fiddly things as
my fingers are thin and small. Use the skills you have and when you haven't
got one, use someone else's.

It's a start anyway. I'm asking re embroidery so there's something to aim
for. In the meantime, I'm hoping I'll be able to fix some of my clothes by
the beginning of next week. I'm giving myself this week and next week off
before going back to the grindstone.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
