Hey, I really would like to try out sewing, but I never did anything like that. How to start?

    If you want some project ideas to start with smaller projects would be a tote bag, little cinch purse, scrunchies. Cute hammock and cage accessories if you have a small animal pet. A gathered skirt with an elastic waistband is also a great starting point as it’s more forgiving for measuring. Apron patterns would also be simpler and make good projects.

    Cottons are generally less slippery than polyester and are easier to cut and sew since the layers will stick together better as you hold them instead of sliding against each other.

    Stick with standard polyester thread to start.

    I hope this helps with picking some projects and fabric. But don’t be afraid to try something if you really love the project idea. The best way to learn is to try! Good luck
