Beginner Friendly Sewing Patterns
When I started to sew one of my first questions was “What pattern should I use?” and this is still one of the most common questions I get asked to date.
I had no idea what patterns to use when I started to sew and I was also a little intimated to ask. So my first recommendation for any beginner sewists is to not do what I did and ask as many people as you can. The sewing community is full of amazing people that are always willing to help, as long as you don’t mind being engrossed in a sewing fuelled conversation for 30 mins.
There are many, many sewing patterns to choose from but my first choice will always be an independent pattern designer. I have a number of reasons for this that are listed in this blog if you are interested.
So listed below is a group of patterns I have personally sewn or someone close to me has recommended as suitable and encouraging for beginners.
If you decide to make one of these patterns we would love for you to tag us on the Sewcial Sewing Instagram page or use the hashtag #sewcialsewing.
We also have an ever-growing community group on Facebook where everyone would love to see what you have made.
