The How To Sew A Skirt series now underway at So Sew Easy is a great resource for beginning sewers. It’s a 12-part series showing how to sew a basic straight skirt. Along the way, Deby teaches sewing skills like cutting and preparing the pieces, installing an invisible zipper, marking and sewing darts, making a lining, and more. These are skills you’ll find useful in many other garment sewing projects. Go to the How To Sew A Skirt intro page for a clickable table of contents to the whole series.

Cocoon Cardigan – Free Sewing Pattern
As the temperature dips and the crisp air sets in, there’s nothing quite like snuggling up in a cozy cardigan. Enter the Cocoon Cardigan, a free sewing pattern and tutorial that promises to be the perfect solution for those chilly days. In this review, we’ll delve into the details of this delightful DIY project, exploring its ease of use, versatility, and overall comfort.
Pattern and Fabric Selection: The Cocoon Cardigan pattern, available for free on the Sew in Love website, offers a simple yet stylish design perfect for lounging at home or running errands in style. What sets this pattern apart is its versatility; it can be made with a variety of fabrics, making it suitable for different seasons and occasions. For my project, I opted for a bamboo knit jersey from Wazoodle, which provided the ideal combination of lightness, softness, and drape.
