For Beginners
So you are new to sewing (or it's been a while) and you need to start slowly?
You are in the right place.
The Sewing Revival patterns take you through the process step-by-step so you learn as you go. You can learn something new in the RESOURCES section of the main menu, or by simply working through the tips & techniques detailed within the instructions of every sewing pattern.
So where do you start if you are a TOTAL BEGINNER?
1. Read through the following blogs to get started with downloading, printing and compiling your sewing pattern.
2. Check out the Easy Sewing PROJECTS (totally free) to warm up your sewing machine (and your confidence).
SEWING PATTERNS FOR BEGINNERS:
You know how to thread the sewing machine, can sew a straight stitch and a zig-zag. You've also worked through the Easy Sewing Projects and now you are ready for a little more.
These patterns will teach you the basics like inserting elastic to create gathers for function (like a waistband) or style feature (like a gathered neckline or hem). You will learn to sew darts (to create shape in a garment) and sew a facing (the easiest way to finish a curve on a neckline).
