Touch Sew
Getting Started on Sewing
Whether you are planning to indulge in a sewing business or you just want to release your creativity by producing wonderful pieces of clothing as well as other things such as decorations and personal items, you don't have to spend so much time and money just to learn the craft.
All you need to do is conduct some research on the basics of sewing, acquire the necessary materials and tools to be used and pump up your enthusiasm in the creation process.
Romina Abrigo Editor of the "Sewing Machine Reviews" website -- http://www.SewingMachineReviews.me -- pointed out;
"…Most successful sewers spent so much time on their craft. Because of the amount of time they have spent on this activity, they are able to discover their own secrets, tips and techniques behind any successful needlework…." Added Romina Abrigo
However, since you can't spend the rest of your life just to learn sewing, it is best to enroll in a simple sewing class that will teach you the basics of sewing, the tools you will need, and just about everything you want and need to know about the craft.
For beginners, one of the most important things to consider is the type of sewing that they wish to do. Usually, sewing is done using the hands alone because this gives personal touch and displays the sewer's talent in sewing. But, since the sewing machine is now available to make the work easier, faster, accurate, and convenient, more and more people prefer using it. For hand or machine sewing, you need tools such as different types of needles and threads.
Once you have decided whether you will be sewing by hand or by machine, the next step is to determine what will you be sewing. The most common thing that needs sewing is for making clothes. But, it can also be used in creating other items such as shoes, stuffed toys, curtains, floor mats, tablemats, and others.
After deciding what will you be sewing, you can now proceed to looking for fabrics that will fit. For clothing and other personal items, the most common fabrics used are made of cotton because this is hypoallergenic, strong, and easy to work on compared to other types of fabrics. But, you may also opt for other synthetic fabric types for curtains and mates such as wool, silk, satin, and others depending on the type of clothes or items you will be sewing.
The next step is to choose patterns for your sewing project.
"…Sewing patterns usually are composed of simple sheets papers that are marked with specific measurements to achieve the proper size and fit for the one who will be using it. After getting everything mentioned, you can now start you very own sewing project and can even share it to other family members and close friends…" Added Romina Abrigo

What is the best way to learn to sew and make clothing?
I have never touched so much as a needle and thread but would really love to learn to sew/make clothing. What is the best route to take? Books, videos, class, just doing it? Thanks
How do you learn best? I've never had an formal sewing lessons, but picked up the basics from my grandmother and the lady across the street who was trained in tailoring. The closest I've come to a real sewing class is a draping and patternmaking class for those of us who sew at home. I've made my share of wadders over the years, but I don't think I've had a total flop in quite a few years.
It would really be useful to you to have someone who sews "walk you through" reading a pattern and proper layout and cutting, and then the basics of machine sewing and pressing. Once you're through that particular set of hurdles, most folks
can pick up quite a bit from some combination of magazines (1)
books, videos, American Sewing Guild or similar organizations, and asking for help on the internet. If you can get a "real" sewing class, it'll help a lot at first. There are also various sewing shows in the US and Canada that can get you in touch with some of the sewing vendors and teachers -- the biggest of which is the Puyallup Sew Expo in late February/early March
each year (http://www.sewexpo.com)
There are a number of faqs around that might help:
http://www.tomfarrell.org/textiles/sewing/
http://www.cet.com/~pennys/faq/smfaq.htm
If your local public tv station offers "Sewing with Nancy", the current set of programs are 25 sewing techniques described briefly. THey won't mean a whole lot to you at the moment, but it'd be a nice set to have taped for later.
Internet help: I hang around mostly on the yahoo groups creativemachine and sergers, and on the quiltropolis groups TheCreativeMachine and Justsew. There's usually someone who can help a newbie if we can figure out the problem.
Another method of learning is to take some discarded clothes and a seamripper and take the clothes apart. Look at how the
clothes are sewn and what layers are inside (most home sewn clothes are deficient in interfacing or the interfacing they have is too heavy for the garment!) (Some of my best sewing lessons started with a well made garment in a strange color from the local thrift shop, and my seam ripper.) You could also practice remodeling clothes by adding godets to a skirt (for more swish at the hemline), remodeling t-shirts to fit you better, etc.
I mentioned ASG: That can be a good source of finding folks who sew who can mentor you. http://www.asg.com -- your state group can help you locate a neighborhood group near you -- ISTR that you can attend a certain number of meetings before they ask you to join.
(1)Sew Stylish, which is unfortunately about to be discontinued,
is aimed at the newer garment maker.
http://besewstylish.taunton.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?redirCnt=2&webtag=besewstylish It's a sister magazine to Threads, which is probably going to be a bit over your head for a bit, but is well worth looking at for inspiration.http://www.taunton.com/threads/index.asp They also have a beginning sewing guide and helps:
http://www.taunton.com/promotions/pages/nmt060_sewing_rev.asp
Sew News is a little easier for new sewers than Threads, and it's got some good stuff: http://www.sewnews.com/ It has "sew simple" as a companion magazine, and I've not seen that one.
Sew News and Threads are the two you're likely to find at the public library.
Other magazines include the various pattern company magazines like Burda or Simplicity or Butterick or Vogue, Australian Threads, Sew Beautiful, and many others.
Buy a decent machine (used, if money is tight) and good scissors and fabric that has the warp and weft 90o to each other, and sewing life will be easier. Enjoy!
