Five Steps
To Learn How To Sew
Or
Learning How To Sew in 5 Simple Steps
Ever see a perfect article
of clothing or home accessory but its in the
wrong colour or size? Or perhaps you dont have
enough money to buy a designer dress or pillow
cover. Learning how to sew is probably one of
the easiest ways to personalize your wardrobe
and home dcor. Often sewing your own clothing
and household items can be less expensive than
buying them from a store.
Below are five easy steps to
learn how to sew. (All steps below assume that
youve done a small amount of hand sewing.)
1. Master the first step
familiarize yourself with your sewing tools.
Borrowing a friends or buying a second-hand
machine is probably the most economical way to
learn the ins and outs of a sewing machine.
Make sure to read the instruction manual cover
to cover. Why not buy the top model? Because,
like learning how to drive, you want to road
test this new skill to make sure its the right
fit.
2. Sign up for a sewing
class most community centres, sewing stores or
even school boards offer sewing courses for
beginners.
3. Find easy sewing patterns
start of with a simple piece of clothing like a
skirt. Most patterns are marked according to
difficulty. Dont set yourself up for failure by
trying to sew say a prom dress for your first
project. Keep it simple with say, a pillow
sewing pattern. If you dont have time to shop,
many stores sell patterns online, making it
easy to chose your project from the comfort and
convenience of home.
4. Be precise and be patient
sewing is an art of finite measures. Follow
your instructors lead. Make sure you measure
twice always before cutting. Pay attention to
variances of millimetres or quarter inches.
Learning how to sew can be frustrating seams
may be crooked or clothes too small. Remember,
sewing is reversible in many instances so be
patient when learning new aspects of the
craft.
5. Repeat, repeat practice makes perfect. After
completing your first project, do another one
right away. Repeating new sewing skills right
after youve learned them will ensure you dont
forget them when starting subsequent
projects.
Follow these basic
guidelines on learning how to sew and there
will be nothing to stop you from decorating
your body and home with your very own
creations!
