About the final project for: Basic Sewing with a Sewing Machine

Basic principles of sewing

“It does not matter if you've never touched a sewing machine before, I'm sure that at this point your head is full of super useful information to throw you into the fascinating world of "sewing your own things". The beauty of having video lessons is that you can see how I do it and go back a thousand times if you want. Even so it may be that you have doubts in the way, if that happens, I invite you to check the forums and the attached material that you will find at the end of each unit, I will also be super pending to clarify your doubts. You just have to click on the corresponding practice in the topic that has been complicated and, most likely, you will find some answers. Since you have some of your projects ready, do not hesitate to share it, it will make me very happy to see your finished creations. Sewing is one of the things that I like the most in this world, I hope it also becomes one of yours and that we see ourselves in another sewing adventure. Thank you very much for taking this course! Julia Reyes. ”
