Inspire a New Sewer Today!
As the renewed interest in sewing grows, help teach the next generation of advanced sewers
by Judith Neukam

Where does a would-be sewer go to get on the right path? Those who wish to venture into the craft find it increasingly difficult to locate local resources for beginning garment-sewing lessons. Frustrated by the lack of a simple solution for would-be garment sewers, associate editor Judith Neukam gives simple guidelines for the garment sewer wannabe. In this special foldout, she removes all cause for intimidation and directs readers to online resources for further self-study. Sewing clothes involves only a handful of simple maneuvers to get started -- once you know them -- but it's a daunting subject for the uninitiated until they learn how easy it can be.
