Hi folks, in this weeks video I share a few common absolute beginner sewing mistakes that most of us make but don’t really talk about in the hopes that those of you starting out know some of the early pitfalls to avoid. If you’ve made any of these mistakes yourselves just remember what a very wise man once said “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”. I hope that those of you that are thinking of taking up sewing find the video useful and you enjoy. Susanne 💕
