How to get started with sewing😃| Beginner Sewing Guide on Essential Tools, Fabric, & Patterns

Today I am so excited to share my own passion for sewing in the form of a how to guide on starting to sew your own clothing. I am sharing my own story of how I got into garment sewing, machine recs (I share my own personal experience with the Brother XM2701 machine and whether I would recommend it or not as a beginner machine...), sewing supplies needed, and tips for choosing your first pattern/project! Definitely coming from the place of encouraging new sewists to make your sewing journey work for you! Happy happy sewing and you got this! : )
