Many years ago I had taken a class on using a sewing machine to make a double sided apron with a pocket.

I didn't have a class with mine, but there were youtube videos of how to use it.

I made my husband a pair of pants with it last month, the first real thing I've made, besides the sewing machine cover. Oh, I did make a kit for making a fleece blanket.
