Sewing newbie?
When I was learning to sew, I wished SO BADLY that I had someone to FaceTime and ask questions to who was chill about it (I’m not trying to be on Project Runway here, I just want to make some cute stuff). So, I started my Learn to Sew series, where I get to be your sewing bestie, and we walk through all the basics you actually need to know in five detailed video episodes.
We walk through all the sewing equipment I use regularly, including what I consider must-haves vs. nice-to-haves.
Deep dive into types of fabric, shopping tips, and my favorite fabric sources.
A few favorite fabric shops:
Blackbird Fabrics ✿ Fluid + Drape ✿ The Fabric Store
