The essential stitches for beginners include the running stitch, backstitch, slip stitch, and whip stitch. These foundational techniques will help you complete most basic sewing projects and repairs.
Consider the project type, desired drape, and care requirements. Cotton is great for beginners, while knits work well for stretchy garments. Always check your pattern recommendations and pre-wash your fabric.
Start with fabric scissors, pins, a seam ripper, measuring tape, and hand-sewing needles. A basic sewing machine is helpful but not required for learning hand-sewing techniques.
Always check care labels first. Hand wash delicate fabrics in cool water with gentle detergent, avoid wringing, and lay flat to dry. For silk and wool, consider professional cleaning for best results.
