Learning To Sew

Sewing is a frugal skill that will stay with you a lifetime and save you a ton of money.  Even if you just learn basic beginner sewing projects like sewing on a button or fixing a tear in your favorite shirt.

Sewing

Growing up both my Grandmother and my Mom loved sewing and creating.  They made quilts, dresses, shirts, toys and so much more.  Now that I have children my Mother has branched into making bibs, burp clothes, pajamas and cozy flannel blankets. 

Beginner Sewing

I think it’s amazing what one can make in an afternoon on a sewing machine.  Once my youngest is a little bigger and I have more time I can’t wait to get back into sewing.

Beginner Sewing Patterns

Below you will find 7 simple beginner sewing patterns and projects.  These are a collection of hand sewing and sewing machine projects curated for the beginner. 

How To Sew

Sewing is the creation of projects using patterns, fabric, thread and needles.  When you first start to sew, hand stitching is a great place to begin.  

Hand Stitching

Hand stitching is sewing by hand using a needle and thread to stitch your fabrics together. Lots of people hand stitch blankets, clothing and so much more.  Mending of clothing is done by hand stitching. 

Sewing Machine

Once you have mastered hand stitching you can move on to using a sewing machine.  A sewing machine is an electric machine that sews stitches into cloth creating clothing, blankets and other fabric related projects. 

Beginner Sewing Basics

Sewing is the use of a needle and thread to stitch two pieces of fabric together. If you are just learning to sew this video gives you great beginner tips and guidance on how to start sewing. 

How To Get Started Sewing

Getting started is the fun part. Pick anyone of the beginner patterns below, purchase the supplies and dive right in.  Don’t be scared to start.  Sewing is fun and it is all about creation.  Remember you learn from your mistakes and with each project you will become a better seamstress. 

Making Money With Basic Sewing Skills

Are you looking for ways to make some extra money?  If you can learn to sew a blanket edge or baby bib you can create an additional income for yourself.   

Home Based Sewing Business

Locally we have people who have created home based businesses sewing quilts, blankets, clothes, baby items and more.  Some of these people support their family with their creative earnings.  Working their businesses around their family schedules.  

Sewing Business

With a sewing business you are not limited to just local sales.  You can branch into online sales via crafting sites, personal blogs or crafting markets.
