• Sep. 16, 2006 - Seamstress wannabee

I would love to sew vintage clothes.  I have a collection of photographs of clothing that I would like to one day sew for my daughters and myself.  The wonderful thing about these fashions is that they are very feminine and can be quite beautiful on a girl or a woman.  I simply love them!  Of course, I have many, many more among my wish list.  Perhaps I will have to resort to having someone sew them for me in the future but in the meantime I imagine myself a wonderful seamstress one day!  Does anyone have any suggestions regarding getting started with sewing clothing?  Especially clothing that is made up of specialty/delicate fabric?

I have no idea how to get started... If you can already sew from a simple pattern with fabrics such as cotton, I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to practice with the more delicate fabrics. I'm sure the proper tension and thread would be an issue...as well as fraying of edges-- do you have a serger? Most of my friends who are great seamstresses have increased their skills and talent simply by PRACTICING...a lot! I'm sure someone else would have more practical advice than my current state of non-advice! ;-) Have a blessed Sunday! Marsha PS I've missed you around here!!!

Wish I knew much about sewing at all! I have not done much but haven't necessarily failed at what I have done. However, my experience as of late has been with reupholstery of our couches - which I did not finish because I had the wrong thread to complete the project and I just wanted a helping hand to walk me through the cushions (my greatest nightmare!). No, I don't have a Serger...can't remember what it is but that's not it. Maybe a Singer...? Anyhow, I am very motivated to learn how to sew clothes but because I am so fond of fabrics and textures and beautiful things of that nature, I would hate to ruin any of them by snagging them or bunching them through the machine! Anyway, this isn't something I can start right away, but hopefully but the time I can, I will have enough advice to be more informed than I am today. God bless, Marsha. It is great to hear from you!
