Free Clothes Patterns Posted on | October 9, 2008 | 7 Comments I originally became interested in patternless sewing, many years ago, because I had a hard time finding patterns in my size. Nowadays, patterns in large sizes abound. Nonetheless, I still love my pattern free sewing. These patterns generally of three types. One type requires you to take your measurements and draw up the pattern yourself. Skirts are very easy to make without a pattern. I came across a few patterns that didn’t fit into any other category, so I gave them their own. We normally assume underwear is too complicated or to time consuming to sew ourselves. Aprons can usually be whipped up in less than an hour. Shirts and dresses are much more complicated to make than skirts. Coats can easily be the most expensive piece of clothing in your wardrobe.

So you want to learn how to sew on a machine?

Great! Once you get through the initial learning phases it's pretty easy. Actually the first thing I reccomend doing is just grabbing some scrap fabric & playing with the machine. Now your first real sewn item, a pillow. Next, get a measuring tape & paper to make notes, find a willing accomplice and practice measuring them, and get them to help you measure yourself. But it's worthwhile, I promise. Now you are ready to go pick a simple pattern & try it.Hit the store for an "Easy" or "beginner" pattern. I know this looks like a six week course 'just' for a simple dress, but sewing has a much larger learning curve than most realize. Buying a machine: Good luck and Happy Sewing

Carry all Beach bag - CRAFTSTER CRAFT CHALLENGES This bag is great for carrying all the swim suits and towels needed for that trip to the pool or the beach.

Iron fabrics before beginning. Sew the the fats in 2 rows of 3 sewing the shorter sides together first for the row of 3.

Using Up That Sweater So I had some leftover sweater material from the pumpkins I made. The sweater did not felt like I thought it would when I washed it because it wasn’t all wool. But it still was really soft so I thought why not a pillow. I had a bed pillow I wasn’t using so I just cut it down and used it as the insert. Then I cut the body of the sweater from armhole to armhole. I had already cut the sleeves off since that is what the pumpkins are made out of. Then just a straight stitch across the top with my machine and stuff the insert inside. I became addicted to making these cute little flowers. I had a gray sweater as well (which felted better) so I decided to combine the two colors. I cut out some leaves and then outlined them with my sewing machine. It wasn’t showing up enough so I hand stitched them on top with some embroidery floss. I whip stitched the bottom by hand as well. And I managed to hot glue them on without any injuries! Not too bad. It’s a great size for my bed. Plus I love the texture it adds.
