This
week we are starting a new series on the channel/blog. I have
actually wanted to do a sewing series since before I started the
YouTube channel but I just never got around to it.
I
know I have been absent from here for a while, the last several
months have been very stressful. I am hoping the stuff that was
causing the stress is starting to be fixed so I can devote some time
to getting back on track with the things I love to do, this channel
and blog is definitely a part of what I love to do.
For
those of you that love the polymer clay foods, don't worry there are
plenty more of those in the future. I just still need a break from
the clay for a while. And sewing is something I have been doing for
most of my life. It really makes me feel good to sew things so I want
to share that love with some of you that want to learn also.
I
actually started sewing before I was old enough to go to school. My
let me hand sew from before I can remember as long as either she or
one of my grandma's was there to supervise. I started sewing on a
sewing machine when I was around 8 or 9 and I have been sewing ever
since.
There
was a time that I sewed pretty much everything I wore. Then I had
kids and sewed for them. If it can be made of fabric I have probably
sewn it at least once over the years and there have been a lot of
years in the time since I first sat down at a sewing machine.
So
back to this series. My idea for this series is to make sure that
even a total novice at sewing can follow along. Hopefully, those of
you that have been sewing for a while will pick up a few tricks along
the way too.
I
decided to start the series out by explaining the pattern envelope
and the information that is on the outside of it. I also touched a
bit on fabric types and some of the tools you will need to be able to
follow along with the tutorial.

To
follow along you can either use the same patterns I do or pick one
(or a few) that are similar. I hope to be able to explain the steps
so that you can use them for any pattern you pick up.
