My Biggest Tip for New Sewers:

Take your time!

Don't rush! Even if you're excited, please take the time to iron, measure, and cut everything out properly!! 99% of all my mistakes came from simply not taking enough time to think it out, adjust, and make sure everything is as it should be.

Sewing is an endurance sport, not speed!

I finally figured out how to make my silk scrunchies less boring, embroidery!

Any tips for someone who's literally never sewn before?

Oh my gosh! Sorry for the late reply. (o´д｀)o

Tips:

Buy bed sheets from the thrift store to use as super cheap fabric

On Etsy/Ebay, search for "junk" and "destash" sewing lots for cheap supplies

Estate sales are treasure troves for all things sewing

Visit your local library's physical or digital children and young adult sections for books filled with quick, easy projects

Check out indie sewing companies for free beginner friendly patterns geared toward adults

Always check Youtube for "Sewalong/Sew Along" videos for any commercial patterns you want to try (the printed directions can be baffling)

Sewing machines can be scary to use at first. Read the manual, watch lots of Youtube tutorials, and take your time (I have a Brother CS6000i machine, btw)

#1 tip: Have fun!
