| It is important
once you have decided to begin sewing to find a comfortable spot or area
to sew. You will need a sturdy table and chair, and an area for
ironing. The amount of money you spend on your new hobby can be endless,
from machines, to fabric, to patterns. How far you choose to go with
your sewing supplies is up to you and your budget. One rule of thumb that
I have for myself and my students:
The happiest
Sewers, Seamstresses and Quilters FINISH each project before heading onto
the next. Try hard not to get into the habit of leaving unfinished
projects around. It can become frustrating, lead to disorganization
skills, and lack of self confidence. If you are at a situation where
you are so upset and frustrated on a project I recommend that you put it
away, start something new, and pick it up again a week later. |
