Hello everyone! Today's video is a quick and easy sewing pattern for Beginners (or anyone really!) using felt. I am still a beginner myself. There is a lot I still need to learn. But this tutorial shows you how I started sewing.
Here is where you can find more of me: https://www.linktr.ee/deanreen
My tips for beginners:
1: Keep it simple. Shifts, Sheaths, Pencil skirt and shell tops.
2: Use felt and other non-fray fabrics. This means you can cut out hemming etc. and focus on the basics of creating a shaped garment.
3: Don't spend too much money. Who knows, you may end up not liking sewing. You are still learning too and may end up ruining a fair bit of fabric.
Here is the pattern for this outfit: drive.google.com/file/d/1rvV565V0Gs5qB8mp2oCErXi-r2xqMl6W/view?usp=sharing
Remember to scale it down for if you are sewing for regular Barbie. The inch box on each page should measure roughly 2/3 of an inch for regular Barbie.
This website has a few patterns for Barbie that can be downloaded for free: sewingandpattern.com/projects/barbie-patterns
And these are my favourite sewing YouTubers (not doll related though, but super useful and entertaining!):
