Burda Style For people who sew

hey,

I am a begginering. i just bought my sewing machine. and im located in an area where tailoring/fashion schools are impossible to find. i literaly have no idea where to start :S i just wanted to have my own unique closet and go to uni without having a spear outfit in case someone was wearing the same shirt. if anyone can share their experience with me and how can i start that would be more than great

Thankx

  Hello Maha and welcome to Burdastyle and the sewing world!

  I have a couple of tips for you. If you want to find a Burdastyle group/club in your area, go to the Burdastyle Sewing Club site. If there is not a club in your area and you would like to start one, please contact DAVID at his email: david@burdastyle.com for information. Another option is to post your desire to meet other members for sewing education purpose in the Discussions under the “Sewing Advice”, “Someone help Me” sections.

  Good luck and happy sewing!

  Welcome! There are some good ‘techniques’ and things to read through for beginners in the learning section here Beginners & Basics.

  For example: - Thread a Sewing Machine - Find Your Burda Size - Pattern Basics- Understanding the Cutting Layout - Read a Pattern - Adjust Patterns for Mixed Sizes

  There are also many other categories/sections in the Learning area of the website: - Learning How to Sew - Tips & Tricks

  Best wishes, Seemane
