Do you go in clothes and housewares shops and start thinking "surely I could make that?"
That means you should give it a whirl!
Some-one you know will have a sewing machine tucked away that they'll lend you. Your Grandma will produce a needle case full of rusty needles and ancient thread. Asking family & friends isn't always the most productive idea as we all have opinions about what you should and shouldn't do, should and shouldn't use.
But where do you start?
Make a list of what you think you want to make. It might be a set of swag curtains in shot silk or a felt brooch. It might be a dress for a New Year's Eve party or a baby outfit. Bunting or a pincushion. Write it down. Be excited about what you want - it is your list and no-one will judge you.
Now stand back and breathe. Congratulations! You've started your sewing journey.
Next time - kitting yourself out
