True - I bought a sewing machine so that I could tailor some clothes for myself, a few years ago. The thing was though that I didn't know how to use it so I looked online for some instruction. I found a class that offered to show me the basics and how they did so was to have each of us in the class make a pillowcase. I did make the one and it turned out fine but I still never used the sewing machine much afterward. True story, cross my heart!
You've left a small ding, probably by accident, by opening your car door into another car or had your grocery cart get away from you as you were loading things into your own car and not bother to let the owner know that you'd damaged their vehicle because it was "nothing" really and no one saw it happen?
