DH got me a sewing machine

Now what? Haha. I've been wanting one but I seriously have no clue even where to begin. The last time I used one was in Home Ec over 10 years ago. Any suggestions on books, tutorials, etc to get started?

This lady at http://crazylittleprojects.com/ is going to be doing online sewing tutorials. I think she is going to do a different project every week for 6 weeks starting in January.

Mostly baby stuff. Colby has this blanket he loves that was mine when I was little. I'd like to make one similar to it. It's just a simple blanket with little threads tied randomly throughout,

That sounds like its be a good first project! I'd stay away from minky material or anything slippery until you get your basics down. Fabric.com is an awesome place with lots of explanations for types of materials for which project and there's a lady I get really awesome designer fabric scrap packs from on Facebook. Lmk if you want her info, it's awesome!
