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:
Purchase an extra button or two and sew it to the inside of your finished garment in an inconspicuous area (such as the inside of a shirt band or to a seam allowance). This way, if you lose a button, you’ll have an exact replacement handy.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Before you sew the seams in a striped or plaid fabric, consider hand- basting the seams together first. This takes time to do, but this pre- basting will keep your fabric from shifting out of alignment as it’s being stitched.
