Are you excited for the Beginner's Course??
From the poll in the last post it's clear - you want to sew PJ Bottoms ✅
GREAT CHOICE! I absolutely love teaching this as a first project because:
- You'll learn very important skills for all your next projects
- You'll finish with a a real, wearable pair of shorts or long pants
- It's really as easy as sewing a tote bag or something else 'beginner friendly'
- You're going to feel SO motivated to keep going and maybe sewing your own clothes won't be as scary 🤩
When I first started sewing, I didn't make pillowcases or tote bags. I jumped straight into clothes because that's what I actually wanted to make. And I've always believed even an absolute beginner can learn by making clothes from the start ... which is why I'm usually trolled in other sewing communities - it's a bit of an unpopular opinion 😉
HOW TO JOIN IN:
Here's what we're doing over the next 10 days:
- Every other day I'll drop a new lesson right here in the community.
- You'll work through it in your own time, practice the skills
- and by the end — you'll have a finished pair of shorts you actually made yourself.
One more thing... 👀
If sewing your own wardrobe has been on your mind for a while — my Sew Your Look programme is opening again in March! It's a 12-week beginner-friendly course where you'll sew 6 real garments and finally build a wardrobe full of clothes you actually love wearing. Keep an eye out — I'll share more details soon! 🙌
But first — introduce yourself below! 👇
