Introduction

WELCOME TO THE CREATIVE, REWARDING WORLD OF SEWING. FIRST

TIME SEWING IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE AS

PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE AND TO INSTILL CONFIDENCE AS YOU TAKE ON

NEW PROJECTS AND LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES. EASY-TO-FOLLOW

INSTRUCTIONS WITH COLORFUL PHOTOGRAPHS HELP YOU BUILD YOUR

SEWING SKILLS WHILE MAKING CLOTHES, GIFTS, AND HOME

DECORATING ITEMS YOU’LL BE PLEASED TO USE, SHARE, AND WEAR.

Sewing enthusiasts enjoy this time-honored art for many reasons. Sewing your own

clothes still gives you the advantage of personalized fit and individual expression.

Home decorating items are popular projects for beginners and advanced sewers alike,

partly because of the cost savings over purchased items. By sewing these items for the

home, you also get to enjoy the creative fun of choosing styles, colors, and fabrics that

fit your personality and taste. But perhaps the greatest reason that sewing is so

enjoyable is the mere satisfaction felt in creating something from scratch with your

own two hands. Whether you are making something for yourself, your home, or to give

to someone else, the ultimate reward is the intangible delight and personal fulfillment

gained in the process.

The projects in this book are designed to guide you from your first nervous stitch at

your sewing machine to comfortable familiarity. Each project will teach you new

skills. Throughout the book you will find tips to make your sewing easier or more

efficient and explanations to help you understand the reasons behind the methods.

Use the first section of the book to acquaint yourself with your sewing machine and

the techniques and supplies that encompass the art of sewing. Your sewing machine

owner’s manual is a necessity; refer to it first if you have questions or problems

specific to your machine. The first step in any sewing project is to read through the

directions from beginning to end. Refer to the Tell Me More sidebars for definitions

or elaborations on bold key words or phrases used in the project. At the beginning of

every project you will find a list of the necessary materials. Read through the

information on fabrics before you go shopping, so the fabric store will seem a little

more user-friendly when you get there. Above all, enjoy the process. Give yourself the

opportunity to be creative, and express yourself through the things you sew.
