I started this blog after being inspired by a beginner group on facebook. A lot of people have wanted to get started sewing and maybe even have a machine but don't have a clue what to do next. Some are too intimidated to touch it, some have done some basic things but then are afraid of paper patterns. I hope to help people conquer these fears by posting useful information, tutorials, links, and videos.
The most requested item has been how to sew with patterns. That's what I'll start out with. I do have plans to add other beginner projects AND individual techniques and trouble shooting issues.
To start out with we're going to make Simplicity 1810 option B (the yellow dress). No sleeves, no fitting, and no closures make this a super easy beginner pattern.
Next we'll move on to McCalls 3830 a basic pencil skirt. Here we'll learn the basics of fitting, how to sew darts, how to insert a zipper, how to put in a lapped zipper, how to hem a skirt using hand hemming and machine blind hem stitch.
Finally we'll make Vogue 8772 a basic women's blouse. This will teach more complex fitting, set in sleeves, cuffs and collars, 1 step and 4 step buttonholes.
