Sewing is a hobby that many people enjoy. Yet, it can be discouraging and overwhelming for beginners. If you are wanting to start sewing as your newest hobby, here are some of the most common mistakes new sewists make to ensure you start out on the right foot.
Choosing Something Difficult
Don’t take on too much to start—pick an easy pattern. Even though you might find the more complex projects intriguing, it is best to make sure that you pick an easy beginner pattern. By starting off with a simpler project, you are setting yourself up for success. Eventually, you will be able to work up to the more intercut and detailed projects after practicing and perfecting the simpler ones; there are beginner patterns for a reason.
Using the Wrong Supplies
Some of the most common mistakes that are made come from not having the right supplies. To start, you want to ensure you not only buy the correct type of fabric, but also the right amount of fabric. Here at Fabric Wholesale Direct, we have all the supplies you could possibly need available at our discount fabric warehouse. We have a multitude of options that could work for whatever first project you pick!
In addition to the fabric, make sure that you are using the correct needle and thread.
Ignoring the Directions
If you want to ensure that your project is a success, make sure that you follow the directions closely and pay attention to detail. Not laying out the pattern correctly could result in the pattern not turning out correctly. In addition to following the pattern, it is also important to make sure that you get all the sizing and measurements correct.
By following the directions closely, you’ll be able to make sure you have the supplies necessary for the project, and by picking out the perfect beginning pattern, you are ensuring that your project is a success. These steps allow you to make sure that you are not one of the beginners who make one of the most common mistakes new sewists make.
And don’t forget—make sure you check out our company Fabric Wholesale Direct for all your new sewists’ needs.
