Have you looked at a sewing pattern and thought, I could never make that? Or maybe you’ve mastered the basics, but the idea of sewing a zipper or adding collars to a garment intimidates you?
In this episode, Johanna and Malena share the best methods for transitioning from a sewing novice to feeling more like a pro.
Plus, they address mindset challenges such as frustration with underwhelming results, the fear of “ruining” good fabric, and the hesitation that comes with trying something new. Topics covered:
- Picking the right sewing machine
- How to choose the right fabric and patterns for your skill level
- Practice projects that build technique and confidence
- When (and how) to push yourself into more advanced skills
