If a project includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include a
pattern template, don’t despair! It likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles)
that you can easily measure and cut yourself.

Note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine. But don’t let that
discourage you! 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:

Removing Difficult Stitching:

If you encounter dense embroidery or buttonhole stitching that you can’t seem to get under
with the tip of your seam ripper, try this technique:

With good lighting, slide a straight pin underneath the stitching. Then use the tip of a sharp
razor blade to cut the stitching across the top of the pin, being careful not to cut any
deeper. The straight pin will not only lift the threads for you, but will provide a barrier to keep
you from accidentally cutting into your fabric.

Sewing Quick Tip:

Don’t choose a
lining based solely
on its looks.  
Actually drape it
over your hand,
together with your
fashion fabric, to
make sure you like
the look and feel of
the two layers
together.
Sewing Quick Tip:

For clipping seam
allowances, try
using a craft knife
instead of scissors.

Place the item to
be cut on a cutting
mat, and with your
craft knife, cut
from the seam to
the raw edge of
your seam
allowance.
