Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: If you’ve accidentally crushed the pile of a napped fabric like velvet, you may be able to restore it. To do
this, try dampening the fabric by spraying it lightly with water, then fluff and raise the nap using a small brush.
Tip #2: Remember to always reinforce any seams in your garment that will be subject to extra stress, such as
underarm and crotch seams. You can do this by stitching again over your first row of stitching or by sewing
another row of stitching close to the first row.
Note: If a project below includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include
a pattern template, it likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles) that you can easily
measure and cut yourself. And note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine.
However, if a project you like calls for, say, complex embroidery stitches and you have just a simple zigzag
machine, you can try experimenting with a satin stitch, hand-embroidering a design, or adding purchased
embellishments instead.

Sewing Quick Tip:
When purchasing plaid fabric, always get more than what the pattern calls for. So, how much
more? One simple guideline is to purchase one or two extra repeats of the design. And a more
specific guideline you can follow is:
For a small plaid: Get about 1/8 of a yard of extra fabric (if the plaid is quite small, however,
you probably don't need to purchase extra fabric at all).
For a medium-sized plaid: Get about 1/4 to 1/2 a yard extra fabric.
For a large plaid: Get about 1 yard extra fabric.
(And remember to also get extra fabric for possible shrinkage.)
