5 tips every aspiring seamstress should know

Bekah Banister

Hello, world! How’s it going?

For those of you who didn’t know, I am an avid seamstress.

I’m also an “old-fashioned” seamstress.

Yeah, I’ve never used a sewing machine in my LIFE. They scare me…

But my hand-stitching is really, really straight and tidy if I do say so myself…

My mother taught me to sew. I owe ALL I’ve learned to her.

Anyhoo… let’s move on…

5 tips every aspiring seamstress should know

1. ALWAYS wear your hair up

2. Taking measurements is crucial

3. Patience is a virtue

4. You’re going to accidentally poke or cut yourself… many times…

5. Practice makes perfect

• Do you like sewing?

• Hand-stitch or machine?

  3. I love sewing!! 🙂 I’ve handsewn and machine sewn. I mostly do machine though! What’s your favorite thing to sew? I love doing quilts and doll clothes. 😀

      1. It’s really fun because you can make them any size. I’ve always wanted to do embellishments. I have nothing to embellish though.. 😛
