EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SEWING
I WANT TO SHARE MY LOVE OF SEWING WITH YOU
MY GOAL IS TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE WITH YOU SO YOU CAN CREATE TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT. IT CAN GET OVERWHELMING WITH ALL THE BOOKS, ETC., ON THE MARKET TODAY, BUT THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO START WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE. A PILLOW, A STRAIGHT VALANCE AND A PLAIN T-SHIRT. THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMPLE PATTERNS TO CHOOSE FROM. WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE YOU CAN START TO LEARN THE BASICS SUCH AS, ABOUT THE PATTERN, TYPES AND CARE OF FABRIC, CUTTING TECHNIQUES, GETTING TO KNOW ABOUT PURCHASING AND USING A SEWING MACHINE(IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW),THE DIFFERENT STITCHES TO USE.
THE BASICS TO GET YOU STARTED
Fiskars Soft Touch Scissors 10''
Oversized cushion grip handles are specially designed to reduce discomfort in the thumb and fingers by absorbing pressure caused by squeezing. A spring gently opens the scissor after each cut, making this scissor ideal for heavy users and for people experiencing weakness in their hands. A slide lock keeps the blade closed for safe storage. Adjustable screw allows the blade tension to be modified. Ambidextrous. Stainless steel blades.
120'' Tape Measure
Fiberglass measuring tape. Large numbers and scale.
Washout Marking Pencil 3 Pack
Dritz Extra Long Satin Pins 300/Pkg
Nickel-plated steel pins in a reusable plastic storage box. Size 21.
A SIMPLE PATTERN
