Owner at Make It & Love It
Ashley Johnston is a professional DIY costume maker, sewist, crafter, and owner of Make It & Love It. She is a mom of 5 and a wife to a very patient (with my craft clutter) husband. In case you’re wondering, she always chooses crafting/sewing/designing over mopping/dusting/wiping base boards……but bathrooms/laundry/full bellies are always attended to. Whew!
Hi Ashley,
I love this. Quick Tip Info on fabric and sewing. I have been sewing all my life (55 yrs). Thanks for your time to explain to beginners how to sew.
Can you please PlEaSe PLEASE do a tutorial on attaching zippers. These things give me nightmares. Thanks in advance :)
I have to say that you were my inspiration to start sewing. Your tutorials and your patience to explain every little detail make it look "easy". I have had my sewing machine for a couple of months and I'm just starting to do little things and I have a question that I hope it doesn't sound too silly, how do you secure the threads at the begining and end of your work? I have no idea how to do it and I'm afraid that everything would come undone!
I hope my English is understandable, I'm from Argentina!
Saludos
Cecilia
I just read every one of these. I ordered a itty bitty practice sewing machine the other day and can't wait to get started…although after reading these I feel like I am going to quickly grow out of my "toy" machine. Can't wait to try some of your projects!!
