Sewing Q&A (:

Hi! For this post I decided to do a Q&A about very common question asked about sewing. Hope you enjoy!

Is it difficult to start sewing?

No, not really. If you really want to become good at sewing, then it’s a pretty easy to learn. It’s a bit more difficult to learn things like making your own patterns but overall it’s very easy.

Where can you find good fabrics? 

Made by me sewing sells really good fabrics and they also do lessons. Spool of thread sells lots of nice and creative designs and they sell patterns for lots of types of clothing. You can also buy fabrics at Costco and Michales.

What are some easy things to sew?

You can either create something like a pillow case or a stuffed animal. Or you can start off with a simple shirt which can be fairly easy. Here’s one of the first things I made…

 

What supplies do you need to start sewing?

1. A sewing machine –  There are lots of companies that sell these. 

2. Fabric scissors  – To cut out fabric for your patterns 

3. Unpicker – To unpick seams when you accidentally sew in the wrong place.

4. Chalk pencils – To draw where you need to cut during hemming and cutting out patterns

5. Pins and pin cushion – To pin where you need to sew so your fabric doesn’t move while sewing. 

6. Thread – For actually sewing  

Thanks for reading! I hope I answered a question you might have had.
