Hi.. I've recently found an interest in sewing....yes I know that some of u may think that this is boring, but I quite like the creative side this brings out in me considering I'm an accountant! I am looking for websites that shows one how to design and sew a variety ot items. I've googled and Msn searched this but I can't find any websites... can u help? thanks!
I love sewing, it needs a revival ;-) depends what you want to sew, clothing it's best to self-learn the basics with patterns and then it's a short step designing stuff yourself, following patterns can be hard, there is a great book called - Step-by-step guide to sewing techniques, published by Vogue/Butterick.
The world be pretty boring if we all liked the same things. I dont think that sewing is boring - its a talent and lots of people make a good living out of it. Enjoy it!
Your question doesn't sound at all boring - knowing how to sew is a really useful skill ! I know that you mention you are looking for websites but have you thought of initially taking a class in say dressmaking or soft furnishings - my local authority runs day and evening classes (very low fees, something like �2.60 per hour, much less for those on benefits). They usually are for two hours a week in term time only and normally the sewing machines are provided, you would just have to bring other materials with you (or you can often buy them off the tutor). You get to meet other people with a similar interest as well.
