It started in September so we've seen 2 of the patterns already and the September one is perfect for beginners. Alternatively I'd start with some free patterns from designers such as Mrs H, Emmaline Bags, Swoon and Dog Under My Desk. Perfect for beginners and lots of advice and help available in the facebook groups for each designer. Your basket didn't stand up as you only used interfacing (at a guess). You'd need to use fusible foam to make it stand up.<br />Good luck!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213240850696097245.post-57844782170416901522019-10-03T15:09:52.805-04:002019-10-03T15:09:52.805-04:00I would never have spotted the error in your woven...I would never have spotted the error in your woven leaf but once you pointed it out then it needed to be fixed!<br />I don't sew at all but I would agree with Leonore, measure and measure over and again.Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213240850696097245.post-42810945860011854902019-09-24T09:35:59.735-04:002019-09-24T09:35:59.735-04:00Your woven flower and the mermaids look fantastic!...Your woven flower and the mermaids look fantastic!<br />I am a sewing-newbie myself. I find that somehow, even though you get results much quicker, for me, it requires a lot more patience than embroidery. All that measuring and marking and re-measuring to make sure everything is just right and straight! Your basket looks awesome for a first try. Choosing the right type of interfacing is still a mystery to me as well.Leonore Wintererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681857834221038780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213240850696097245.post-51251120805328357472019-09-24T06:32:41.533-04:002019-09-24T06:32:41.533-04:00Use a seam guide - even if it's a piece of sel...Use a seam guide - even if it's a piece of sellotape stuck to the machine where the edge of the fabric needs to be. Or draw the first few seam lines until you feel comfortable doing it by eye.<br />And have fun!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322676800314521539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213240850696097245.post-48760069131810077892019-09-23T21:57:07.810-04:002019-09-23T21:57:07.810-04:00The beading looks great!
