Beginner Sewing Advice/lessons

10


10 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Nov 26, 2016

I am offering the service of virtual beginner sewing lessons and/or advice. I have included various photos of projects I have completed in the past. I can help you figure out a threading issue, help you use an antique treadle machine, and even teach you how to draft your own sewing pattern. I have worked with knits, leather, quilters cotton, canvas, various pique and chiffon, etc.

Need some quick help? These below will take roughly 15 to 30 minutes.

Do you need help figuring out your new sewing machine? How about that knotting problem on your singer? Not sure how much fabric you need? Questions similar to these will be in this time frame.

Need more intermediate advice? These can generally be solved in 30 minutes.

Do you need to figure out your sewing machine and also a confusing pattern? Not sure how to alter this pattern to your size? Questions like this will be best served in the basic package.

Advanced help will usually take 45 minutes to an hour.

Advanced help includes pattern drafting, general sewing machine repair, or multiple services at once that may take more time.

30 Simbi gets you the Advanced package
ADVANCED PACKAGE
The advanced package will help you draft 1 (one) pattern. A sleeve counts as 1 pattern. A bodice Sloper counts as 1 pattern.

No Simbi? No problem! I'm always open for trades.
I enjoy crochet, sewing, coffee, gardening, home decor, home construction advice, etc. Anything related to those would probably do just fine.

Training & Qualifications


I have been sewing since I was 4. I love to quilt, and make 19th century reproductions.

I also sew a portion of my and my children's clothing, which is probably the funnest part of sewing.

On top of that, I have a bit of an obsession with sewing stuffies. I can help you get started!

Availability & Preferences


I am available most days.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Julie Ott

Hello! Pleasure to meet you! I'm Julie, a New England girl at heart, you'll often find me and my family at the lake or doing farm chores. Between jugs of iced coffee, I find myself working on dr...afting sewing patterns, canning, gardening, and generally being a Homestead Mama. Feel free to reach out! I am excited to be trading with like minded people who understand the value of services. If you ever find you need help with something you think I may know, don't hesitate to give me a shout. Note: After a long hiatus on Simbi, I am back. My profile may look a bit messy until everything is organized again; forgive me for the mess!show more
