Self taught sewing

I have been attempting to sew lately... I have NEVER had any classes or lessons and thus it is a little tricky. I have the users manual for my circa 1950 sewing machine and consult it regularly. What I have learned is that being self taught isn't necessarily a good thing. I have probably made more mistakes than anyone in the history of the art and have learned very little...unless you count the obvious like eyeballing the measurements isn't really a good idea.

So...buddy here and I - we self taught ourselves, but we probably shouldn't have. I'm pretty sure I have less oxygen in my brain now than when I started this venture. :)
