Tip Sheet: Getting Started with Sewing
Practical Application: Sewing
What would you like to be able to sew? Do you have a specific project in mind (pants that need hemming, a garment you want to alter or repair, something you want to make, etc.)? What are the barriers to completing this project (time, money, supplies, motivation, skills, experience, other)?
If you have something you want to sew, a sewing skill you want to learn or improve, or something else you would like to accomplish in regard to sewing, set a goal for completing this on a timeline that works for you. What needs to happen for you to accomplish this goal?
Is there something you could sew this week? Consider reattaching a button, fixing a tear, or sewing something you have been meaning to make.
Remember: the best way to improve a skill is practice! Take time to do a bit of sewing!
