I’d say “become fluent in Japanese and Spanish,” but I’m actually learning those two languages so I guess they don’t really count any more. There are a few more languages I want to learn, but I also want to learn how to properly play the guitar. I actually have a guitar and can play some random melodies and solos on it, but I don’t get much further than that…

I sewed a lot before grad school (and a little bit after), and I love it almost as much as I love knitting. You can get some pretty good books that will get you started so you don't have to invest in a class immediately, and use your manual! Every machine threads differently and I have almost broken mine several times when I forgot a step after months/years of not using it. Making a pillow is a good first project.
Also, @stephie hemming is better done by hand than with a machine. The machine stitches are generally too tight to get a clean, straight edge unless you are really good at adjusting the stitch tension. Machine hemming is more common with heavier fabrics like denim.

@nonlinear_time: maybe "hemming" isnt the right term... like if I want to shorten a too-long shirt for example.... I couldnt do that by hand, it would look terrible. (or making curtains or similar ventures). I wonder if the machine I have still has it's manual...would be worth checking. I like the idea of making a pillow as a first project, I have plenty of scrap fabric (old pillow cases, shirts, etc) to play around with should I dare to ever bring this thing out of hiding.

I bought a machine a few years ago, left it in the box untouched for 2 years and then finally sat down and taught myself to use it. I've made a few dresses for my girls, but it's a cheap machine and the thread is forever getting knotted so it's very frustrating. Someday I'll upgrade.
