Sewing Tips

  • Wind up three bobbins (at least) whenever you start a project so you don't have to stop in the middle of your project and thread a bobbin in addition to threading the machine. 
  • Watch a lot of videos on your project ideas before starting so you know the direction you're heading in
  • When rotating a sewing project leave the needle in the down position to pivot the project without losing your spot/expanding the thread further than you'd like.

Felt Monsters

I used this blogger's free pattern to create little felt monsters for my friends' little boys. It's a pretty easy sewing piece overall, but definitely takes focus to try to get your thread near the edges of each piece. It's also a lot of stopping/starting to pivot around your needle. The monsters are such an easy first stuffed animal though and are a great size! You really just need some thread and a few pieces of different colored felts. Little circles for eyes, ties, guitars, hearts, etc. You can customize your own felt monster in any way you like and it makes a nice gift for kids. Including cutting, sewing, and stuffing each monster takes me about an hour right now. Not bad for a cute little gift!
