Great Instructions for Beginning Hand Sewing

I don't know if it's my Southern drawl or just the uniqueness of my name, but people often have a hard time with mine. It usually goes like this:

Them: Your first name?
Me: Salinda
Them: Belinda?
Me: Salinda
Them: Falinda?
Me: (rolling my eyes to the back of my head) It's Salinda. That's “S as in Sam, A, L, I, N, D, A”

I'll be teaching at Lil' Miss Priss, LSUS and BPCC this Fall. Visit Lil' Miss Priss on FB, http://www.ce.lsus.edu or http://www.bpcc.edu/continuingeducation/index.html to sign up.
