Let’s get started…

Start by getting comfortable using a sewing machine and handling fabric and by sewing your first seam.

Browse our selection of easy makes to get you started on your sewing journey – bags, headscarves, simple skirts and t-shirts – all perfect for beginners.

One of the best parts about learning to sew is choosing fabric! Woven cotton is one of the easiest fabrics to cut and sew, and for Absolute Beginner projects we recommend medium weight cottons as they’re very durable and will withstand unpicking!
