Dear Bro Jo,
In past emails I asked you about the red dress on the cover of your Guide to Relationships book.
You mentioned that Sister Jo sews, to make things modest.
Does she have a blog for LDS women wanting to learn to sew in order to keep our clothes modest?
I just bought my first sewing machine and am very excited!

Dear J,
No, J, no blog.
But Sister Jo says that there are probably all kinds of classes you
can take where you live.
Try asking at places that sell sewing
machines and fabric.
She also says that you should check out Pinterest, which has lots of
great ideas and links to millions of sewing blogs.
Congratulations!
Good luck.
And have fun!

Dear Bro Jo,
My grandma said shell teach me basics while I'm home and I’ll take a class when I get back to BYU-I.
Thank you,

Dear Bro Jo,
They are aren't they!
My great grandma taught me how to crochet and now I'm making her a blanket

Dear Readers,
Sister Jo learned basic sewing from her mother and grandmothers and aunt and leaders and others, but her skills grew out of necessity. She started making clothes for herself because she was frustrated that she could never find quality items that we could afford. Then she began making Halloween costumes for our children, and now makes original formal dresses for our daughters.
She insists that that sewing is a skill that anyone can learn, and feels very strongly that more of us, guys and girls, would be greatly blessed by learning how to create our own clothes.

A guy who can use a sewing machine is an attractive man.
It's a great handyman skill.
My husband and his siblings all grew up learning how to do it. His youngest brothers helped make the burp cloths that we use for our baby. It's a skill, but it's not exactly rocket science. :)
