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:
To strengthen
ribbing that has
stretched out of
shape, treat it like
a casing and insert
a piece of wide
elastic through it.
Cut a vertical slit
through the wrong
side of the ribbing,
insert the elastic
through the
ribbing, then sew
the ends of the
elastic together.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Lining fabric can
change the way
your fashion fabric
drapes. Therefore,
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.
