Sewing without a sewing machine may seem daunting at first, but it does not have to be. With a few simple tools, the right fabric and some creative ideas, almost any item of clothing can be sewn by hand. Whether you are making a patchwork quilt, an intricate appliqué or simply mending a seam, the basics can easily be mastered. Depending on the project, handwork may even be faster than using a machine.
Before starting, be sure to have the right tools–a pair of sharp scissors, good thread, hand sewing needles, pattern weights, a measuring tape and pins. These tools will give you the best possible finished product. Woven
