These are great! I just shared your link with a friend who is a beginner sewer and these are wonderful for her. She didn't know what a bobbin was or anything when we started talking.
Thank you for taking the time to do these tutorials. I'm pretty new at sewing, and I'm lucky enough to have my mom (who is a great seamstress) available for tutoring. But, do you know that she up and left me for two weeks on a vacation to Mexico?!?!? Then I found these really cute V-day mailbags for my girls. And,I'm impatient... so, I decided to teach myself :)
This blog is going to help me be able to sew my projects in my own home, instead of packing up my stuff and bothering my mom for remedial sewing tasks!
Thank you, thank you!!! This site is going to be very helpful for me :)
Love this! I just got my first machine this Christmas and I am trying to figure this darn thing out! I used to sew when I was younger, but I guess it's not like riding a bike! I wish I would have found this blog before I spent an ENTIRE weekend trying to figure out how to thread my machine through trial and error.
Thank you so much for giving me the confidence I needed to pull my machine back out! I have had a sewing machine for years and played with it long ago, but never really knew what I was doing (I wasn't far off from the basics though :-D).
Thanks for these "sew basic" posts! I am a new sewer, anxious to create cute things for my two little girls, and your "sew basic" posts are great! God Bless!
These are fantastic! Thanks ever so much. I'm reembarking on a sewing adventure, and these are just thing to start me on my journey. You have great ideas, wonderful pictures, super inspiration, and now you're a topnotch teacher too! Yay!
Thank you so very much for your time on this!!! I am an intermediate at sewing I learned in home ec in junior high all these basics, it's great to review them but also I have so many friends that want to learn and ask me to teach them, yet we have small children so it's very hard to coordinate this... You've made it so very simple to understand. Excellent work, thank you it's a huge blessing!
Thank you SO much for this. I have just moved to Norway to be with my boyfriend and bought myself a brand new sewing machine to help me along the way. Imagine my surprise when the instruction book didn't include English - uh oh! I'm learning Norwegian but I'm not there yet. These tutorials are just perfect for me right now - and I've just sat and cut out some practice petals to make a ruffly flower - gorgeous!
hi Disney, your basic sewing tutorial just help me so much. i love it. Thank you for sharing and i just want to say that i review about this in my blog http://meandmyhalflife.blogspot.com/
Hi, Disney! I just found your blog through the kojo Designs feature. :)
I know I am going to LOVE this series. I can thread my machine and sew a straight line, but after that I'm pretty much stumped. ;) I can't wait to read your tutorial on ruffles. You'll have a new "Follower" today! :)
This is a great series. Can you do a tutorial on different settings/stitches/needles? I never mess with the tension on my machine or change my stitch length, but I know I should. Also, I'm never sure if I need to switch needles for different kinds of fabric. Thanks for the help!
Can I request a sewing basic for thread tension? and perhaps using different needles for different fabrics? I saw you mentioned something about that but I had no idea I was supposed to be using different needles. Am I supposed to do different things depending on the thickness of my fabric? I have been sewing for a while and am totally self taught so I do everything through trial and error. I have read the manual on my sewing machine but am still confused.
thank you, thank you, thank you! thank you so much for doing this! you are an answer to prayer. i am 22 years old and have always dreamed of being a seamstress. i could plan big, but when it came down to it i just did not know how to sew -- or even where to start! my mother is a pretty good sewer, but she's so busy all the time that i could never get her to teach me.
november 2008 i decided to buy myself a present - a $100 sewing machine to teach myself to sew. haha well that sewing machine got used by my mother, but never me. UNTIL NOW!!! you have equipped me with the knowledge i needed. you are a God-send. thank you for the light you are in my life. -Lacey
My mom knows how to sew and I am remembering how she would always call me to learn, but thought I didnt need it. Now I really want to learn how to make stuff for my little girl:) Thanks for the advice:)
hi, i loove your blog! its very inspiring, every time i visit, it makes me want to make something new! i have a quick question though.... im making something right now, and its asking for a long stitch (im a new sewer) is that the same as basting?
