If you want to learn to sew, you'll need to try some new things. Here are some tutorials that will help! What's a tutorial? A tutorial is NOT a pattern - it's a lesson on how to do a particular technique. A pattern typically doesn't explain how to do something - it just gives you directions on what to do.
