Are you learning to sew? I’d love to hear! If you already know how to sew, I’d love to hear the first thing you made. ☺️✨

@aidanoconnell2330 5 месяцев назад

I just got my first sewing machine yesterday for my birthday from my fiancé! The first thing I made was a pillowcase dress for my 2 1/2 year old from your video! It wasn’t perfect by any means, but I was glad I even made anything! I’ve never used a sewing machine before! Your videos helped me a ton!

On my tenth birthday my mom got me my sewing machine ( it was a big deal, since she was a single mom) It’s still the one I use today. I used to hand sew scraps of fabric together for Barbie doll clothes. My first sewing Machine project was probably a trick or treat bag. Now that I’m older, my goal for this year is to advance my sewing/finishing skills. The hardest sewing project I’ve ever done was my wedding dress ( I have plans to go back and correct some mistakes and seams)

I got a sewing machine for Christmas and am slowly learning how to sew!! So far I’ve made some burp clothes for my new baby! He was born two weeks ago!:) I can’t wait to tackle some more projects!

My mom taught me to sew when I was about 8 and I made a teddy bear for my first project💕

@kaylapompa6113 5 месяцев назад

This is adorable! 😍 The first thing I ever made was a headband and then proceeded to make about 50 of them for a church craft fair fundraiser. I loved seeing everyone wear them for years to come ☺️ sewing is such a gratifying art!

My dad taught me to sew when I was 7 and enrolled me in a Singer Sewing class and I was the only child in the class. We made a dress which I still have. It was pretty rough if you look at the zipper application and the facings, but from the outside, it looks pretty good for a first time project. Because I have been sewing my whole life, I started a blog in 2009 to teach people around the world how to sew alterations. I had never heard of a bento bag, so this was a fun project to see!

My grandparents taught me how to make my first apron when I was about 7! Very special memories :)

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Oh that is so special, Shelby!

@noelhorseman1109 5 месяцев назад

My nanny taught me how to sew, every summer break we'd pick something new to make and argue over pattern instructions. The first thing I remember making is a little blanket for my stuffed animals and a little pouch for my pencils, I still have both of them. ❤

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

How sweet, Noel! I think it is funny that you argued over instructions. I can see that happening in the future with my daughter haha :) I also love that you still have the first things you made -- I need to remember to keep things!

@momosan11 5 месяцев назад

Love this. I have found over the years, I always go back to good 'ol fashioned hand sewing.

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

How special! Hand sewing is a beautiful practice, I'm impressed :)

@breckpennington4306 5 месяцев назад

The first thing I remember sewing was a pillow case with my Nana. So thankful she taught me how to sew

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

What a special memory to learn from your Nana! Thank you for sharing :)

@Ares8671 5 месяцев назад

This bag is the first thing we made. My daughter is 7 she and I just finished the bag today. She’s beyond excited that she knows how to sew now. Thanks for the great project. We’ll be buying one of your patterns next so she can start making her own clothes🤙

@amy-rosepuckett2056 5 месяцев назад

This bag is so sweet 🤍 I even see myself using this as a makeup bag when I travel! The first project I ever tried was making curtains for our French doors. I never got around to finishing them because I was in the thick of new motherhood and had a hard time finding room in my days to do any sort of hobby. But now that my daughter is a little older I’m able to squeeze in some sewing time during her naps and bedtime.

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Such a great idea using this for makeup! I understand the thick of newborn days. Sometimes putting projects aside is hard but so rewarding later on when you can pick them back up again with fresh perspective and a little more space :)

My grandma taught my mom to sew thru 4-H & I’m now a 2nd gen, taught by my mom! I think my very frost sewing project in 3rd grade was a midnight blue with subtle sparkle cotton a-line skirt with waistband, zipper, and hook & eye. I’m hoping to teach my kids sewing in this way, too! So many good memories, challenges lol, and learned SO much!! So grateful for the opportunity to learn to sew from my family in this way! 🙌

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Oh wow, I love how you can remember each little detail, Mindy! It shows how formative sewing has been for you and your family :)

@dennidarling 5 месяцев назад

I actually learnt to sew as an adult and got lessons from a friends friend back in 2020! The first thing I made was a throw cushion 😊 You’re never too old to learn something new!

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

I agree, you're never too old :) I also love that your friend gave you lessons -- thats a true friend!

@ambervore855 5 месяцев назад

My mother bought me a sewing machine for Christmas probably close to 10 years ago. I still have lots to learn- I have been getting it out more often these days. One of my first projects was a whale stuffy that I made for my son when he was a baby followed by your teddy bear pattern 🧸

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

How sweet! I love that you said you are getting it out more often these days...sometimes thats the biggest step :)

@melcb7027 2 месяца назад

This was my first time attempting to sew and this was my first video tutorial that I followed as I paused. My times to sew my FIRST PROJECT! It definitely was not perfect.... lots of wonky sides and unevenness...but it's a bento bag! And will be my bread bag! Thanks for this tutorial, super helpful and encouraging first project on my sewing journey. Looking forward to other tutorials!! TO MANY MORE SEWING PROJECTS!!!

@superheroteach 5 месяцев назад

Im a crafter, who could sew.. now, I have gotten pretty good at quilting. I’ve made some bags, but without step by step tutorials, I struggle to read any patterns. Love your thorough videos- so easy to follow along!! Thank you

My very first sewing project was with my grandma. I stayed with her every summer. We made a seersucker robe. That was more that 40 years ago!

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Wow, what a fun project to make and special memory to have with your grandma :)

@aodhnaitculley-zj7xv 5 месяцев назад

I did my first sewing workshop with my machine over the weekend and I loved it. I can’t wait to get starting making projects. This bag looks like a great start. I’ve been admiring all of your patterns for quite a while now, so I look forward to being ready to make something soon (I have my eye on the Ada set and the Billie Jacket) x

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

I love hearing that you took a workshop with your machine! What a wonderful way to get acquainted with sewing. I wish you all the best on your sewing journey! :)

@di-dimayhem8910 5 месяцев назад

I’ve been sewing since I was a little girl, but the first thing I made that I can remember was matching newborn dresses when I was pregnant with my twin girls! I made them with my mother-in-law who also loves sewing ❤️

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

I love how sewing has brought families together and that you made matching dresses for your girls. That is incredibly special :)

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

I got a sewing machine for Christmas and so far have only made a few bows for my girls and your birthday crown! I reaaaallllly want to try and dive in by making my twins new nap mats but I’m very intimidated 🙈💛 definitely going to try this bag first!!

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

How fun! Sounds like you've gotten a lot done since Christmas, thats impressive :)

@joannamagana3440 5 месяцев назад

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Those are wonderful first projects!

@Eveningflower13 5 месяцев назад

I remember taking my first sewing class in 7th grade and everyone made duffle bags. Mine was pink and I wore that thing out I was so proud of it. 😂

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Oh I love that! The pride that comes from making something with your own hands truly is unmatched :)

@rebeccaschnizler240 5 месяцев назад

First thing I made was in 7th grade home ec (in the 1960’s!!). It was a white sleeveless jumper with a big groovy flower pattern. My big learning moment (not a mistake!!) was marking for the hem while wearing it, looking down. Oops!! The jumper was about 5 inches too short! My solution: use blue bias tape to cover the 10” of sliced fabric. Even better: add a second row to make it look intentional!! Loved that jumper, sure wish I had saved it ✂️✂️

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Hi Rebecca, I love hearing about your *learning moment* It sounds like you are a problem solver! Thanks for sharing :)

@meganwilde9781 5 месяцев назад

I learned to sew when I was really little, my mom would only let me use the hand wheel and not the foot pedal! I think my first project was a smiley face pillow 😊

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

How cute! I love that you got to sew with your Mom :)

@rebeccawhite5376 5 месяцев назад
