Before I begin a project:
I have started to do some reading BEFORE I start my project.
1. Read up on the fabric I will be working with.
2. Read up on techniques that I should or could use for the construction of the garment.
3. Look at reviews on PR to see what other sewers have dealt with the pattern.
4. Make sure I have the proper tools.
5. Do a tissue fit and make adjustments as necessary.
In Stitches
Do you own Sandra Betzina’s Fabric Savvy (or her updated version More Fabric Savvy)? It’s a great resource to have when you’re trying to figure out how to sew some fabrics. She gives finishing techniques, needle size, stitch length, etc. It’s one of my favorite books!
