Sewing clothes for yourself can be so rewarding. It is a great feeling to be wearing something you made and some one says "Wow, I love your top". You can even design your own clothes. Begin by making sketches, then make easy garments. Soon, you could have your own clothing line. Listed below are MANY ideas and suggestions for sewing, designing, and making your own clothes.

A Message for the Beginner Seamstress and Fashion Designer

Sewing your own clothes can be anything from pajamas to your own winter coat. If you are just starting out, I would suggest that you start with a simple pair of shorts or pants that have an elastic waistband.  Have fun sketching your clothing line too.  Remember to include accessories: hats, purses, belts, scarves, etc...    

 

As you begin to sew more clothes and you become more experienced, than you can go onto more difficult projects. If you are buying your patterns at a local fabric store, try and find ones that say "Very Easy", "Make in a jiffy" or "Simple to make".  This is important because you don't want to get frustrated and not enjoy sewing any more because you bought to difficult of a pattern.

The basic rule for buying patterns for beginner sewers is; buy ones that have elastic for the waist band or just pull over tops and pjs . NO zippers, and NO buttons, until you are ready for that step. Have fun and remember to take your time, due your best, and be proud of the job you did! (And of course wear your outfits, you never know who will like your design!!!)
