Learning how to sew is a wonderfully addicting craft. I hope to inspire you to become addicted.
I started this how to sew web site to inspire you to create garments and home decor from scratch, or change items you have purchased from a store.
Learn to hem your own pants and repair a broken seam. I will continue to keep adding the most practical advice that I believe will help the beginner, as well as add interesting DVD's and books and magazines that have an incredible amount of information to help you. I am very passionate about this craft and hope that I can inspire you. I began by making my own doll clothes when I was nine. That was 35 years ago and I have been addicted ever since. Click Here to Search This Site One common statement I find people make, is, "I start something, but give up because I don't understand what I am doing." I can think of a lot of different reasons for learning to sew, but for me the number one reason would be, the satisfaction of creating something you can use. I take great pride in the items I make and feel even better when I make things for others. I have made many things for myself, my family and friends. When finances were tight I have stretch the family budget by making clothing and household items from scratch. I have made curtains and added embellishments to store bought items that were quite plain. There is so much freedom in having the knowledge to create things that you envision in your mind. If you can not find it in the store, then create it yourself. I love that. When learning anything for the first time, it can seem overwhelming, but if you learn each project step by step, it will be less intimidating. Learn to get past those hurdles, and make anything that pleases you. Let's start with the basics of how to sew, but if you have some beginner knowledge, you will learn more advanced stitches and techniques. Let's start YOUR wonderful addiction.
