Bonus tips to Help You find More Easy Sewing Patterns
Easy sewing projects are projects that don’t require a lot of sewing skills to be completed. Usually, they only require a few simple seams you can stitch even if you are just starting your sewing journey. Certain blogs specialize in beginner sewing projects, even with free patterns.
The best way to learn to sew is to just start with a super easy sewing project that, for example, only requires a few simple straight stitches (yes there are tons of such sewing projects!).
Search google for good sewing patterns for beginners, ask in a sewing FB group you trust (we have a small FB community but it’s a very friendly one, and members love to help out.) and then start with a pattern that is very popular. This way, you’ll be able to find help both from people who have already sewn it – and from the pattern designer.
I’m sure you’ll find a lot of useful and fun projects to sew here and I’d love to know which one if your favorite!
