How to follow and use a sewing pattern
Easy sewing for beginners

Would you like to start sewing and create your own clothes? It's not always easy, especially when you don't know where to start.
And patterns aren't every seamstress's best friend. Quite the opposite, in fact: they discourage many a seamstress, and we're not all born (much to our chagrin) with the Coco Chanel gene. But don't worry, we're here to help! In this sewing pattern tutorial for beginners, we'll teach you how to follow a sewing pattern and how to use it, so that it's child's play! You can also find out what materials to use if you're just starting out.

In this video, Chahrazad will answer the following questions, which are common when you're just starting out in the world of sewing:

• How to choose the right fabric?
• Where do I start?
• How do I get started with my pattern?
• How do I find the right size?
• How do I identify pattern parts?
• What information can I find on the pattern?
• How do I know how to cut the pieces in the right fabric and the right number of times?
• How can I assemble the different pieces?
