| Easy sewing pattern to start out with. Ok I need to start somewhere. What is the 1st thing you learned to sew? What should I start with? I would like to do something for the furkids. Remember I am talking super super simple here No plans for tonight and might as well get the machine out Any thoughts? |

If you want something REALLY simple, why not start with a fringed bandana..... Measure your furbutts neck(s) and then draw a triangle on a piece of paper -- make two ends longer so that you can tie a nice bow. This is your pattern. Cut two pieces out, pin them together with the WRONG sides together (one right side will face up the other will face down) sew a 1/2 seam all the way around and there you have it. You can fringe the bandana out or just let it fringe naturally. | |

| If you haven't had a home ec class in middle or high school like me...then it may be easier to start with simple pillows. I made 100's of different shaped pillows until I became a pro (and bored) then I moved to blankets..mainly baby blankets and slowly went to different valances, clothing, etc. patterns. Good luck! I absolutely love to sew...just wish I had more time and space to do it!

| The first time I tried to sew anything I bought some fleece from Joanns and made a pillow. Then I tried to sew a baby blanket with satin binding. I didn't miter the corners correctly but my baby's have a new blankie. I did buy a beginners sewing book, which has helped a lot. I also subscribe to about.com. Here are some beginner sewing projects. Happy sewing! Sewing Projects Index - Simple, Quick Beginner Sewing Projects
