Learn To Sew Online

2011-11-28T19:24:00.000-08:00

Sewing is the madness of some women. If you want to learn the art of sewing, go for it. Or if you already have a sewing machine at home, what if you start again. Search for sewing class is not difficult really. The important thing is your determination to start and high motivation to continue your efforts. If you already started your sewing class, go ahead. What if not? Do not know where to start or your house away from the sewing classes. Actually I hate sewing because sewing requires a high tolerance. I quickly tired of that kind actually. Hehe.. But everything changed when I accidentally saw a woman on how she make money by simply sewing on television. Since then, I started searching the Internet about sewing. I do not like sewing big things like clothes and quilts so I'm more of a sewing bags, pencil case and wrislets for easier and faster completion. Learn to sew online is easy, for those who just starting out, I list down here a few websites for you to choose which one you like. Sew shirts, pants, bags, aprons, or bed sheets/quilts? Youtube is also a good source to learn sew, just type the words and the tutorial are there. Information will be available. Good Luck readers! So, Are you ready to sew. Let Start;-)........

Being a working women and bag makers at the same time sometimes makes me tired. Just finish examination week at school. I'm a bit busy checking all the exam paper this week, so I need to stop sewing for a little while. Still have 2 more days before school holidays, and I'll free to continue sewing my bags again.;-) If anyone of you want to exchange link or just want to say hi, you are free to email me.

Right at 3:00 p.m I reached my home. I take a break and lunch. (Lunch at 3.00? Ya, it is normal for me) It's difficult for me to have lunch because my class is always at noon.After finish my food, I take a break a little while and continue sewing my bag. Although tired, but I think sewing is therapy for me to get rid of stress. I sew the bag yesterday, but I did not manage to complete the button. So today I set up the button, and finally the bag is complete. Another cute reversible bag for everyday use. Yeah! This is the result. Hope you like it! To all the readers.. Have a great day;)

I also bought fabric from local online blogs. Fabric Fanatics is the first online blog that I found and still buy some fabric from them.

Canvas and linen fabrics from May May Shop

I love to sew my own bags and learn from the internet. But it is sometimes difficult reading from the computer screen. So I bought some books from Amazon to be used as a reference.

From The New Handmade: Simple Sewing for Contemporary Style (That Patchwork Place) By Cassie Barden

This is a new bag I finished sewing. This bag pattern I learned from "The Bag Making Bible" By Lisa Lam. I combined 3 types of fabrics, designer fabrics by Michael Miller and Riley Blake as the exterior bag and Japanese cotton as the binding. The result?? Wow! 2 bags in 1, no one will know you are using the same bag as the bag can be reversed. Click the shopping section to find out the price ya! ;)
