I've got two sewing machines. Where do I even begin to learn? (lemmy.world)

Nothing fancy, neither is terribly new or old. Not being able to sew is really holding me back on DIY projects.

Is there an "Operating a Sewing Machine for Dummies" video or tutorial you like?

Get into the habit of - "I don't know that thing, let's look up how to do it!"

Everyone IRL thinks I'm some sort of fucking genius, but I'm just some dude who knows how to type what I don't know into Google and watch YouTube videos...

Conversations with my family members...

Me: I did this interesting thing
Grandma: You're so smart, I don't know how you can do this stuff
Me: ...I looked it up. You could look stuff up too.
Grandma: Oh, no, I'm not smart like you.
Me: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Yeah, I've made a lot of progress, its just a big change of perspective to internalize. I think for me its mostly fear of failure, and I'm working to internalize that failure is good and important even if it feels bad
