Getting Started with Sewing

If you’re new to sewing — or returning after time away — it’s normal to feel unsure at the beginning.

Which tools do you really need? What’s worth buying? How do you thread the machine without getting tangled and frustrated? And how do you start your first project without that nagging feeling that you’re doing it “wrong”?

This DeepDive is a practical guide to beginning well.

Ali breaks sewing down into clear, manageable steps so you can build confidence without overwhelm.

You’ll learn the essentials: the tools that genuinely matter, how to choose or borrow a beginner machine, how stitches are formed, how to thread calmly, how to choose stable fabrics that make learning easier, and how to practise your first stitches with control.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s clarity, calm, and steady progress.

After watching this series, you’ll…

• know exactly how to get started sewing if you’ve never touched a sewing machine before
• know exactly which basics matter
• have a confident foundation to grow your sewing skills on
• know how to start projects without fear or second guessing
