Sewing, hmmm

I have been asked if I could sew, um... a little (very little) bit. I can't sew a straight line to save my life! I have always wanted to make my own clothes, but I just can't get the hang of sewing. I am not really sure why they were asking me, as I know they could find plus size dresses cheaper in the stores than I could make; fabric is expensive!

As it is, I have a pile that is continuing to grow of things the guys are asking me to fix for them. I haven't had the time to actually get out the sewing machine with this new job. But I will have to get to it eventually as they are running out of jeans. What is it with the jean manufactures not making jeans like they used to!!? Out of the 5 pairs of jeans in the pile, each need to have the pockets resewn!
