Instructions
Step 1
In any home there are thousands of little things for which a sewing machine would come in handy: hem curtains, sew up things that have come apart at the seam, and shorten trousers. In addition, a sewing machine and a minimal sewing skill on it is a panacea for people with a non-standard figure. If you are too tall, too short, too thin, if you have to buy different sizes of clothes for tops and bottoms, a sewing machine is for you.
Step 2
All sewing machines are divided into three types: electromechanical, electronic and computerized. The first are the simplest. They perform about two dozen operations, they are good at learning to sew and, what is important, they cost a penny - the simplest machines from a reliable Brother company cost about two and a half to three thousand rubles.
Step 3
Electronic typewriters are for advanced users. They can do more and, accordingly, cost more, but if you are sure that you will sew a lot and finances allow you, it makes sense to buy just such a machine. Choose typewriters from Brother or Janome. These are reliable and proven companies.
Step 4
Professionals need computerized machines, they can do almost everything, and it is a pleasure to sew on them. But the cost of such a machine can go off scale for several thousand dollars.
Step 5
Having chosen and bought a sewing machine, first of all, read the instructions, which contain comprehensive information about your purchase. Find several scraps of different fabrics, try different stitches, referring to the instructions. Change the needle, play with the settings. Use all available stitches. Practice making straight stitches.
Step 6
Thanks to the Burda Moden magazine, published for more than fifty years, any girl can start sewing in just a few days. Indeed, in this magazine there are detailed patterns, information about how much fabric is needed for the selected model, careful descriptions of the sewing sequence and, which is very important for a novice seamstress, in any issue there are several elementary things for sewing. They are marked with one or two black circles next to the model name. Follow the instructions in the magazine to sew the skirt. It is always best to start with a skirt - as you cut and sew, you will have a better understanding of the sewing process. After creating a few simple models, move on to more complex ones.
Step 7
If the instructions in the magazine are not enough for you, look for video masterclasses on the Internet. Typically, you can find a detailed video on just about any sewing topic.
