  1. Oh how I wish I had learned how to sew. I feel like this is a skill that I am lacking. My daughter has been able to learn some sewing from my mother in law, but I wish it was something I could teach her instead. Maybe now that I have some free time on my hands I need to get my sewing machine out and start learning how to use it.

  2. I always admire someone who can sew…can’t do so much as a button here. Well I can, but it is sooo frustrating.

  3. I love to sew but haven’t for awhile. I guess I have the perfect opportunity to pull out the machine and fabric. Thanks for the information. Nicely laid out and would be very helpful if you were first starting out.

  4. I like the tip about making a decision before you go to the store and avoiding the distractions. I’m easily distracted so this is something I need that constant reminder about!

  5. Reading this made me think about my brother-in-law. The other day on Facebook he posted that he just learned there was a thread “cutter” on the side of his sewing machine, haha. All of these years that he has used it, and he has always cut his thread with scissors. Proves that we learn something new every day – thank you so much for this information!

  6. I have so many great seamstresses in my life that I never felt as though I needed to know much more than how to sew a button or mend a seam. However, if there’s one thing this quarantine has taught me, it is that basic skills are more essential than ever!

  7. I’ve been crafting masks these last few weeks, might need to step it up a bit and expand my skills after we can head to the stores again.

  8. Love this! I haven’t tried to sew anything other than a hole or a button for close to 40 years. I almost didn’t pass that home economics module. hehe

  9. I no longer sew clothes, I do quilt and make small projects. The hardest part for me always is picking out my material. So many wonderful choices!

  10. Excellent tips! I used to sew a lot and made many of my clothes as a newlywed. Sadly I lost my sewing machine during the Joplin tornado in 2011. I should purchase another one!
