Hi, I'm Toni! Welcome to Sew Sew Lounge! I teach sewists basic sewing techniques to build skills and grow. Learn to sew one pattern at a time.
I started sewing in college when I majored in Textile & Apparel Design. There were years of sewing disasters and embarrassing low grades. Learning to sew was a long process of trial and error...LOTS of errors...and seam ripping! But after all that I can now sit down and sew commercial patterns and ones I’ve designed myself.
At Sew Sew Lounge, you'll find step-by-step beginner sewing techniques, tips, and all the info you need to start sewing and lay the groundwork to sew whatever you want!

I haven't sewn in about 25 years. This is the first pattern that I am going to try. Thank you for help.

You are very welcome! The videos to make the waistband used the short version of this pattern (in a different fabric) but the method is the same.
