About this episode
Have you looked at a sewing pattern and thought, I could never make that? Or maybe you’ve mastered the basics, but the idea of sewing a zipper or adding collars to a garment intimidates you? In this episode, Johanna and Malena share the best methods for transitioning from a sewing novice to feeling more like a pro. Plus, they address mindset challenges such as frustration with underwhelming results, the fear of “ruining” good fabric, and the hesitation that comes with trying something new. Topics covered: Picking the right sewing machine How to choose the right fabric and patterns for your skill level Practice projects that build technique and confidence When (and how) to push yourself into more advanced skills And lots more!
