Beginning Sewing Projects

Beginning Sewing Projects Details
A reader emailed me and asked, “Any tips for how to get started into sewing?” I thought about it, and decided a roundup of links to beginner-friendly sewing projects and techniques would be the best thing I could contribute. I’m not much of a teacher, but I can assemble some tutorials for sure!
These links assume that you own a sewing machine, that you’ve threaded it, and that you’re aware that to use the machine, you put the fabric under the foot and press down on the pedal. A sewing-machine manual should help you with all of that. For definitions of basic sewing terms, this Wikipedia article is surprisingly thorough.
If you’ve got the machine threaded and know how it works, the first thing you should do is put some scrap fabric under the presser foot and practice a bunch of straight stitches. Play around with stitch length, thread tension, etc., until you’re at least a little comfortable with the thing.
