How to Sew | Hand Sewing Basics | Beginners Guide
Practice makes perfect as the saying goes, If you have ever learned to drive, or play a musical instrument you will know that just because you have watched a video, read a tutorial, received some instruction and had a go, doesn’t mean you can then drive the car, play the instrument etc…not without a lot more practice anyway.
Sewing like any other skill takes time to learn and you need to practise.
Luckily there are lots of free tutorials and patterns available online, supplies and equipment are easily available and relatively inexpensive, so it’s not an expensive hobby to start and a useful skill to learn.
