Sewing Quick Tip:

Don't sew over
pins:

Don't sew over
pins when
machine sewing.
Your needle could
hit a pin and break,
which could be
dangerous, or your
stitching can come
out uneven.
Sewing Quick Tip:

Print Fabrics:

When purchasing
print fabric, notice
how often the
pattern repeats.
For fabrics with
longer "repeats,"
be sure to
purchase extra
yardage for
matching your
pattern pieces.

So, you want to learn how to sew! Great!

Sewing for yourself, as you probably
already know, can have the following
benefits:

Getting to be your own fashion designer,
expressing your individuality and creativity
through what you wear.

Having clothes that fit your body, instead
of having to make do with ready-to-wear
apparel that doesn't fit quite right.

Saving money by creating a wardrobe of
clothes that costs a fraction of what you'd
pay for ready-to-wear.
Creating custom and inexpensive furnishings your home.

Gaining a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from successfully creating something of your
own.

Good luck! And have fun learning!
