New to Sewing? We’ve Got You!
Sewing doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, we believe everyone can sew – even if you’re starting from scratch. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A basic sewing machine (or a hand sewing needle for smaller projects)
- Cotton fabric (start with woven cotton – easy to work with!)
- Thread, scissors, pins, and a measuring tape
- Iron and ironing board (pressing is key!)
Beginner-friendly projects to try:
- Fabric bookmarks
- Pillowcases
- Tote bags
- Elastic waist skirts
- Scrunchies and headbands
Most of the tutorials here come with clear instructions, pattern downloads, and tips to help you build confidence stitch by stitch.
Pro tip: Don’t worry about perfection. Start slow, go step-by-step, and celebrate every finished project – even if it’s a little wonky!
