Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: To keep the hem on a knit garment from curling to the outside, apply a strip of fusible knit interfacing to
the bottom edge of the garment before sewing the hem. And cut the strip of interfacing on the cross-grain so
that it will stretch with your fabric.
Tip #2: When purchasing print fabric, notice how often the pattern repeats. For fabrics with longer “repeats,” be
sure to purchase extra yardage to allow for positioning of your pattern pieces so that the design will match at
the seams of your garment.
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.
