Top 5 Sewing Tips for Beginners: Things I Wished I Knew When I Started Sewing

Are you new to dressmaking or just want to learn the best sewing tips? Here are my top five beginner sewing tips: 1. Always check the measurements. Both your own and the ones on the garment 2. Always do samples. It is especially important to test stitches on your chosen fabrics 3. Don't over-pin when you are sewing. Too many needles will distort the fabric and you also risk sewing over them. 4. Use seam guides to make sure you sew straight. 5. Don't be too hard your on yourself! ✂️ Shop my sewing books and patterns https://shop.thelaststitch.com/ 📘 Order my latest book Master the Coverstitch Machine https://www.thelaststitch.com/master-the-coverstitch-book/ 🏃‍♀️ Get my book Sewing Activewear http://www.thelaststitch.com/sewingactivewear ✂️ Shop my favourite sewing tools https://www.amazon.com/shop/thelaststitch ✂️Find me on the Internet✂️ My blog: http://www.thelaststitch.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/laststitch Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/laststitchsew/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.se/thelaststitchsew/ Amazon Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases that are disclosed as Amazon affiliate links.
