Sewing Pattern Tips for Beginners
"I am forever telling people that sewing isn’t hard – it’s not really harder to learn how to sew properly than it is how to use hot glue without burning yourself or duct tape without it becoming a tangled mess. That said, I first learned so sew decades ago and there’s stuff that people don’t know that I don’t realize they don’t know, until someone asks a specific question. Someone recently asked for tips on sewing from a pattern for the first time and I thought, well if they don’t know these, likely a lot of other folks don’t either so forthwith – MBT’s Top Ten Tips for Sewing with a Commercial Pattern."
