I still sew on my Kenmore 385 I bought 46yrs ago. It also has the button attachment which I love. Made all my kids and my work clothes on it. Now I'm sewing my old lady clothes, lol. Finally invested in a brother 1034dx serger. Bought my first pattern weights from Joann's about 15-20yrs ago and added on other things that work as well. Much prefer the weights to pinning the patterns. I also use paper to copy my store bought patterns so as to preserve the tissue. My foldable cutting table was my thrift store find for $25. I also use bed sheets to make light weight summer clothes. Did recently purchase the friskers cutting mat set and really like it. My pride is my brother se400 and pe800 embroidery machines. I keep a piece of parchment paper under my cutting mat for ironing on stabilizer to protect my iron. If you don't find me in my sewing room check the kitchen. Great video. New subscriber here. Been sewing 62 yrs and started on a Singer treadle sewing machine. Stitch on.
Best advice is keep your gear, stash, and notions as minimalist as possible because sewing can be a clutter monster. I decluttered an entire spare room devoted to sewing down to three plastic shoeboxes and one small tiered crafting box for my thread pins and needles. You don't need a ton of stuff to make garments, but the less you own, the less clutter you'll have, which will save you time and $. Who knew if I only owned two seam rippers I could find them faster than when I owned 50? 😅 I also used up/donated my fabric stash and now buy what I need for each project. Great video!
I love how practical, resourceful and convenient this channel is. I just recently subscribed because I want to start a clothing business some day and this channel is perfect for me as a beginner.
Thank you Ms. Lydia for for this Video. You explained it so simply with no difficulties. I now have the Sewing Machine Bug. My Wife had gotten a beginner Singer Sewing Machine brand new. She hasn't used it so I thought to myself a little time and patience I could do this. I been hand sewing since I was 11 years old and spent 10 years in the Army and always had a Sewing Kit. I am waiting for some heavy duty needles so I can get started. Thank you for all of your expertise !
Lydia is such a great teacher; her warmth & enthusiasm are contagious. Even if you are not going to pursue sewing to a great extent, you end up watching her videos. She's that engaging!
This is a great video! I'm teaching young ones to sew, and I made sure they had most of these supplies. We're starting small, so the tracing wheels and markers will come later. Thanks!
Hey Lydia! Thanks for all the awesome sewing content! I really appreciate it! I was recommended your puffy sleeve pattern on TH-cam, watched it and thought to myself “oh wow she’s a really good teacher!” So I checked to see if you had more stuff for beginners (like moi). I have been having SO MUCH TROUBLE with sewing in a curve and I can’t do much without learning how to do it. Could you please make a video teaching sewing curves??
Hi Kira! Thank you so much! I am continuing my beginner series after my current projects and will definitely keep this in mind! Thank you for the input!
Now looking to get into sewing so I can sew for myself and my family. Just found you. Think I can learn a lot from you! Haven't bought my supplies yet. Thank you for taking the time to put out this information for individuals like me! 💖💖💖🥰🥰
@LydiaNaomi, Thank you so uch for taking the inspiration, time, dedication, experience, and imagination, as well as your goals and patience, to put together this wonderful tutorial vids.
Love your videos. Just want to add I talked to an employee at Joann’s that went to fashion school and they used Banner Rolls for tracing paper as well. I definitely recommend banner rolls for tracing patterns as well.
Ooohhh yess I'm so excited for this series! I'm bumbling through my first full dress out of some old drapes with a vintage pattern, it's so much fun even if I suspect the sizing might be a bit off and the skirt probably won't cover my arse!
Oh my goodness! I am so excited for your first dress! And I am so glad you have discovered the joy of sewing! Don't get discouraged if it doesn't fit right at first, you will learn and be better for it next time. I can't tell you the number of mistakes i have made and how much I have learned from it :D
@@LydiaNaomi it didn't fit but it was so much fun and it looks alright! I'm used to just winging it with diy's and the skirts I've cobbled together before worked out okay - but it was a lot of work and I must say a pattern was way helpful with the darts and shit 😆 I'm gonna figure out how to do it right with the prettier curtains I've got left ✌
@@katjaoksanen944 Woohoo Katja!! Im so happy that you enjoyed the process! I've sewn so many things that haven't fit, it just takes practice! I bet your next dress will be a great success!! Go you!
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you. Ive just stated looking into seweing again. Your beginner video is one of the best in TH-cam. New subscriber here
Just came across your channel. A new subscribers here with a bit of feedback. Great pace of information for starters on this video. The only thing that needs work (not sure if you are aware) is that the music tends to blare. It's a different volume level (much louder) than your voice volume. Please watch this during the editing process for future videos. Thanks!
This is so usefull! Have been drawn to sewing for ages now but haven’t been able to find a good teacher in my area. So thank you for making these videos, it makes things easy for me ☺️
Soo intimidated but I whole heartedly want to begin my journey as a legit sewer. I'm going to be binge watching your vids. I have an ooold machine I inherited from mom but I wanna start sewing right away, so I'll get my sea legs on the new one and hopefully eventually use the old. Anyway, I'm excited 😁 glad I found you.
Oh yes, this is the video I've been waiting for!! Do you have any recommendations of any online stores (other than Amazon) to purchase some of these supplies?
Yaay so glad you enjoyed! I personally like to shop both in person and online at Leather and Sewing Supply Depot sewingsupplydepot.com/ . But they are located in Toronto. I don't know where you are, but just search for a local sewing supply shop. Sorry I am not more help :/
I have two sewing machines, one very old that belonged to my grandmother, and one relatively new that my mother purchased and gave it to me. Super excited for these lessons, but i have to find me a plant friend first. lol
I am a newbie who just learned to use sewing machine (portable one) and I really want to learn more and make my own clothes. This video helps a lot. Do you have video explaining about presser foots?
Please can you show us how to make a garment from start to finish. Tracing the pattern, cutting it out everything. Thank you so much. New subscriber here. Can you also show us how to clone our clothes. My mum has a dress that she loves but cannot be bought any more. She has restricted mobility so I would love to be able to make a copy of the dress for her thanks
Wonderful!! They are my favourite scissors - LDH Scissors: lddy.no/10k32 (This is an affiliate link that gives me a small commission at no extra cost to you). Hope you enjoy!!
I have a new Singer model 2277 sewing machine which I purchased online as our local Wal-Mart was out of most machines at the time and we don't have a sewing store locally. So far I have not got the machine where I can use it as I have been having bobbin problems and the bobbin thread not being picked up correctly. I want to use my machine to primarily make a quilt or two then see what else I can do with it. I have most of the items you showed us and in some cases have many of them like thread, needles, rulers, and scissors.
If you are having bobbin problems check your manual, it should provide some trouble shooting, sometimes those problems are as simple as mis-threading something or the needle is in backward or the bobbin is placed wrong. I hope the issue is minor and you can fix it!
I’m planning on investing in a Csi6000 machine and for the past few weeks I’ve been watching videos & tutorials on stitch work & patterns✨ hope I will get it soon🤞🏽 I want to make my own clothes
Oh my GOODNESS Lydia, I am SO DISTRACTED by how BEAUTIFUL you are!!! 😍 you know what... your profile pic... she is so beautiful as well, although she may be in agreement with having a spa day for an update to reflect her current beauty!!! 🤗📸 And always LOVIN' your singing and helpful tips! 100% agree with priotizing black and white threads as your starting point ~ they are in fact the most commonly used colors, even more so for beginners! AH-MAY-ZING job on the filming and editing too!!! 😊❤👍
@@LydiaNaomi Oh, do keep it if you like it!!! Mine has a slight change too... my blonde highlights have grown down to my chin, and couldn't be bothered to update the photo to match my current brown roots because I like that pic too much as well lol! You look so alive and radiant today, so whatever you choose to do, keep doing what you're doing! 😍
My black cat was a complete paper murdering menace when she was little. Your little guy reminds me of her kitten days. Now she just sleeps on my desk...which I'm used to, but it's mighty inconvenient. Especially if she wants a hand holding her.
Awwww that is adorable! My cat is grown now, she usually sleeps on the floor or on fabric on my table, sometimes she'll jump around my paper patterns and chew on the edge haha!
Hi there Lidiya I can sew but at the moment I'm waiting for my shoulder to get better as of this moment My right arm is totally broken so no sewing for Me Boo hoo Amazing tutorial have joined see you again soon
The thing your cutting out what is that called and where can I find them.. to help cut out clothing shapes? Beginner here no idea what everything is called
Hi Lydia, Please could you do a beginners guide to sewing with knits & using a serger? Shoulder seams, side seams and hems? There's not that much out there for a professional finish! x
Hi Genevieve, thanks for the suggestion! In the meantime Check out my knits playlist. You might find some helpful info. I will keep this in mind for future videos. 🌸
Hot take: I got some dollar store scissors that are surprisingly excellent for cutting fabric (and only cutting fabric) (I had bought a bunch for a class to use). Who knew???
Ps. For a Singer 4432, can a High Press Foot thingy, but bought seperately? as an ADD ON? As you mentioned in a previous video that the Singer 4452 has it included, compared to the 4432 Model. Please and Thank you
@Lydia Naomi yes! Thank you! Also I just bought my first heavy duty sewing machine and so excited to try all the stuff on your channel! You inspired me to make my own clothes!
Hi, I am doing some research on a beginner sewing machine for domestic use - Looking at the Singer 8280 , would I be able to sew tracksuit material with this sewing machine ? It is fairly basic sewing machine, however, this would probably be the toughest material I would sew - Not interested in sewing denims at this stage - Would really like your input if this is a decent sewing machine to start with ? Looking forward to hearing from you
I am not too keen on Singer in general, though I do own and like the Quantum and know that the Heavy Duty has good reviews, beyond that I would direct you first to a Janome and next to maybe a Brother. But your best bet would be to look up reviews on that particular machine and see what people say. Amazon can be pretty good for this!
Hello ! I haven’t started sewing yet but I want to! Does it have to be polyester sew all thread ? Or can it be cotton ? Will that also work for 90% of simple beginner garments ?
I'm trying to learn how to sew because my mommom(grandmother) was supposed to teach me but life got so crazy and she just passed away from a brain tumor about a month ago so I feel like I owe it to her to learn to sew I'm just so lost as to where to start
I have a question. I don’t want to start out sewing small projects like pillow cases or headbands. I want to go straight to sewing clothes. Is this a possibility for someone who has never sewn before?
absolutely! I have seen multiple beginners start with my milkmaid dress pattern and tutorial. There are so many tutorials on YT that show how to make really cute and simple clothing :) th-cam.com/video/3XDJg5y-G9g/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot for all those tips as I need to get on with my shopping list - sewing machine is on its way 😁😁😁! Just a quick question re sewing patterns - are we supposed to print these out with our little printer at home?! 😯 they are huge!! lol thank you so much again!
So glad you enjoyed. You can watch my video on how my pdf patterns are printed. Most pdf patterns are printed like this. th-cam.com/video/ODuN22qBWd4/w-d-xo.html
I still sew on my Kenmore 385 I bought 46yrs ago. It also has the button attachment which I love. Made all my kids and my work clothes on it. Now I'm sewing my old lady clothes, lol.

i'm doing research so i can start sewing and making my clothes, i just subscribed to you. your videos are so helpful! i love your personality.
Thank you so much! There is much more to come on the beginner sewing front :D
Hm is the materials tools
Best advice is keep your gear, stash, and notions as minimalist as possible because sewing can be a clutter monster. I decluttered an entire spare room devoted to sewing down to three plastic shoeboxes and one small tiered crafting box for my thread pins and needles. You don't need a ton of stuff to make garments, but the less you own, the less clutter you'll have, which will save you time and $. Who knew if I only owned two seam rippers I could find them faster than when I owned 50? 😅 I also used up/donated my fabric stash and now buy what I need for each project. Great video!
Needlewoman who has sewn for 60 years approves of your recommendations. She also loves her vintage Singers. Well done, lady.
I've been sewing for over 20 years, but there's still so much to learn. I love your videos! So helpful!
That is awesome!
2023 is the year I learn to sew! Your videos are getting me excited!

Hey Janet :) I wish you a SPEEDY recovery so you can get back to sewing and life in general!!
Great tutorial! Thanks! I heard about a sewers Ham! Do you recommend this for a beginner? Thanks!
Thank you! It's unlikely that you would need one for a beginner. It's for pressing curved seams. I don't even use it a whole lot.

What is the clip like tool you are using while ironing
Yes please show us how to sew a simple garment by hand I'm really interested 💃
Here it is :) th-cam.com/video/hChI0aasv2Q/w-d-xo.html
New subscriber .. thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
Welcome! 🤗
I need a link for your fabric marker i cant seam to find one that disappears with heat only pens.
The thing your cutting out what is that called and where can I find them.. to help cut out clothing shapes? Beginner here no idea what everything is called
Hi Lydia,
Please could you do a beginners guide to sewing with knits & using a serger? Shoulder seams, side seams and hems? There's not that much out there for a professional finish! x
Hi Genevieve, thanks for the suggestion! In the meantime Check out my knits playlist. You might find some helpful info. I will keep this in mind for future videos. 🌸
Great video 👍🌺🌿🏵🍀🌹🌿🌷
Have you made the how to use your sewing machine video yet? :)
Not yet!
Hot take: I got some dollar store scissors that are surprisingly excellent for cutting fabric (and only cutting fabric) (I had bought a bunch for a class to use). Who knew???
Also, Crayola washable markers...my students used them on garments and it does really wash out :-)
ahh that's awesome! being resourceful is really the key!!
oh man I may actually get some! I uses pens sometimes when i am lazy and its not the best idea!
I'd love to see your video if you create any outfit by hand sewing
I am editing a video like this right now :D
I would like to see a video tutorial how to make a ironing board cover
THANK YOU...🕉
Awesome! you forgot to mention bobbins, not something you want to look for late at night and end up stopping.
You’re 100% correct! I guess I left it out because it was more part of the machine essentials which I’m going to go through in my next video ☺️
can you explain more about the paper designs with the writings? do i by those or make them? also what are they call?
Pattern drafting? You can buy patterns and make them :)
Ps. For a Singer 4432, can a High Press Foot thingy, but bought seperately? as an ADD ON? As you mentioned in a previous video that the Singer 4452 has it included, compared to the 4432 Model. Please and Thank you
I think they all have a high presser foot, but I am not totally sure. Something like that isn't something you can really replace on a machine.
May i know how do we prevent the tracing wheels from leaving scratches on our table when tracing pattern?
You can use a cutting mat behind whatever you are tracing :D
I really want to see the hand sewing, I really do.
I think I will! Stay tuned!!
Which sewing machine out of those would you recommend for someone that has never used a sewing machine?
Any machine that isn't specifically tailored to embroidery or quilting will be great!
You didn't mention pliers. My emergency has them, but what are they for?
I'm not sure I've ever seen pliers in a sewing machine kit. Maybe tweezers for guiding the thread on a serger.
Anyone know what that tool at 7:03 she is using is called? I need it!!!
Are you talking about the bias tape maker?
@Lydia Naomi yes! Thank you! Also I just bought my first heavy duty sewing machine and so excited to try all the stuff on your channel! You inspired me to make my own clothes!

Hi, can you please let me know from where I can buy drafting papers in Toronto, Canada? Tsk!
I suggest Leather and Sewing Supply at Spadina and Sullivan just north of Queen Street :)
Thanks a lot for all those tips as I need to get on with my shopping list - sewing machine is on its way 😁😁😁! Just a quick question re sewing patterns - are we supposed to print these out with our little printer at home?! 😯 they are huge!! lol thank you so much again!
So glad you enjoyed. You can watch my video on how my pdf patterns are printed. Most pdf patterns are printed like this. th-cam.com/video/ODuN22qBWd4/w-d-xo.html
@@LydiaNaomi Great thank you so much 🤗
This is embarrassing, but what is that big green thing you have with the lines on it? 🥺
No worries, thats a cutting mat. You can find them at craft stores and sewing stores. You need them when you use a rotary blade.
