Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: If pins have left behind noticeable holes in your fabric, try this to get them out: place your fabric on a
flat surface and gently scratch out the holes with your fingernail, or you can try dampening each pinhole with a
tiny bit of water, then pressing your fabric.
Tip #2: When stitching heavy denim fabrics, use a special denim or jeans sewing machine needle. This needle has
a thicker shaft and sharper point than a standard needle and can therefore pierce through layers of thick denim
easily and without breaking.
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.
