I just bought my first sewing machine! I’m an absolute beginner, the most sewing I’ve done is hand-repairing holes in clothes. Do you all have any recommendations for good video tutorial series or channels to watch? Any general advice for a newbie?
My first goal is to make a set of curtains for my living room and bedroom, but I’m interested in sewing some clothes eventually.
When I started, I just bought a really easy pattern and a bedsheet from a thrift store that I could make mistakes on. When I got turned around in the pattern or didn’t understand something, I looked it up on Google or YouTube. Sewing is a hands-on activity, that’s how you learn it too! Curtains are pretty easy, but you need to be able to sew a straight seam for a while. That’s a great thing to practice to start on!
