So I have admitted my fascination with Project Runway. I love to watch the process of making clothes from the sketching stage to the final runway show. I love how everyone gets the same challenges & materials to begin with, and yet you end up with so many different styles.
Seeing the process makes sewing feel more like something I could attempt.
So this weekend I took a big step in my dream. I bought my first sewing machine. (used & old, but still new to me)
And with a call to my mom & got the basic accessories that I'll need to actually sew. I least I think I got them all. If you notice anything I'm missing, please let me know!
And of course I needed some fabric. I am in love with this! I got it at Walmart in a $5 Bolt sale! Yay me! I'd like to make this into a skirt, but I don't have a pattern yet.
But now I'm faced with my biggest challenge......how do I make my sewing machine work? I know the basic press the foot petal and move the fabric through. But tell me, where does the thread go? What do all the knobs do? How do I know how wide to make a stitch?Please help this Sewing Simpleton get started!
Share a sewing link/video/pattern/etc. if you've got a good one!
