"I have spent months on a family quilt as you go quilt for my mom. I had simple coloring book patterns many years ago as patches for family members. We embroidered these and I had the family members sign on a white sheet of material. These were embroidered too. Lovely momento."

"I am just starting to organize my fabric. Who knew it would be such a big job! I bought comic book boards to wrap my fabric around. I will eventually get another shelving unit or bookcase to store it on. Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas!"

"If that's the way you want to draft your patterns there are several good books and other websites about the subject. But except for the few designs which are only basically made from rectangles such as a gathered skirt, it is not possible to just "give instructions" for drawing the crutch curve on trousers, or a neckline or a sleeve head. I agree that perhaps those curves could be the only bit you need to print off and the length of any straight lines could be shown, but don't forget websites of this sort need to cater for people with less skill and experience than you apparently have. You could always do a print preview and decide which pages you need to print and which you could guesstimate using common sense, such as the leg on a pair of trousers."

Remona from The Stitching Scientist

Remona from The Stitching Scientist Hi! My name is Remona. I am the creator of The Stitching Scientist; a blog that features free beginner sewing patterns, tutorials and projects for the novice designer. I am a full time Research Scientist who enjoys working with fabrics as my hobby. I knew sewing was for me when I walked into my local fabric store and walked out 4 hours later with a cart full of fabrics! Sewing takes me away from my day job of graphs and formulas into a playful, creative world that I am privileged to be able to experience. My most important job is being a single mother to a beautiful little girl and two wonderful dogs, who make each day worth living. I am a firm believer of the “you can do it too” philosophy from which my blog was created. I enjoy sharing simple inexpensive, short projects and tutorials that any novice or expert can recreate without feeling overwhelmed. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and I hope you will join in on the creativity as we learn to design and craft together.
