Not a sewing machine thing, but still the principle is the same.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11231745.post-34412740611059171342009-01-21T00:22:00.000-05:002009-01-21T00:22:00.000-05:00Congrats on trying your hand at sewing!

For me, books were confusing. To make dresses for my daughter I actually took a simple dress she already owned and turned it inside out. I studied the stitching and then just did my best to replicate it. Practice, practice, practice..and remember, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!Homemade Happeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905363941501618400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11231745.post-102621326884591452009-01-20T17:59:00.000-05:002009-01-20T17:59:00.000-05:00Bend The Rules Sewing is a good starter book, it h...Bend The Rules Sewing is a good starter book, it has some great easy projects where you learn useful techniques.<BR/><BR/>Must say, as a starter project I would have used felt - easy to sew with, doesn't fray or 2nd best something made of cotton.<BR/><BR/>good luck with it, you will get there :o)jojoebi-designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585345777385016260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11231745.post-67227212737613709882009-01-20T14:56:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:56:00.000-05:00WOW!

At least some great ideas on what to make.Gottfredsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606666159779336353noreply@blogger.com
