Beginner Sewing | Sewing Starter Kit

Hello Everyone! I’m starting a beginner sewing series on my channel to help those who want to learn to sew. People are constantly asking me to sew for hire, but I’m not passionate about producing for others. My passion is educating others so that they are empowered through new knowledge. In the video below I go through all the essential materials that I believe a beginner sewer needs to get started. If you’ve already jumpstarted your sewing journey, please share this video with those who have expressed interest in wanting to learn to sew.
