AnagramsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Sewing is the craft of fastening or attaching objects using stitches made with needle and thread. Sewing is one of the oldest of the textile arts, arising in the Paleolithic Era. Before the discovery of spinning yarn or weaving fabric, archaeologists believe Stone Age people across Europe and Asia sewed fur and skin clothing using bone, antler or ivory needles and "thread" made of various animal body parts including sinew, catgut, and veins. Although usually associated with clothing and household linens, sewing is used in a variety of crafts and industries, including shoemaking, upholstery, sailmaking, bookbinding and the manufacturing of some kinds of sporting goods. Sewing is the fundamental process underlying a variety of textile arts and crafts, including embroidery, tapestry, quilting, appliqué and patchwork. For thousands of years, all sewing was done by hand. The invention of the sewing machine in the 19th century and the rise of computerization in the later 20th century led to mass production of sewn objects, but hand sewing is still practiced around the world. Fine hand sewing is characteristic of high-quality tailoring, haute couture fashion, and custom dressmaking, and is pursued by both textile artists and hobbyists as a means of creative expression.

See if your library has a copy of Kwiksew's Sweatshirts Unlimited -- that has a very nice discussion and step by step instructions for sewing on both sewing machines and sergers. Otherwise, I"d suggest working with a purchased pattern, which will have instructions. If this is a stable knit and you won't be stretching any of the seams, then a straight stitch will do for construction. However, a plain seam will look very homemade in such a garment, so I'd probably switch to a felled seam, which is not the first sewing a beginner usually does. If your machine has a zigzag stitch, you could sew the seams with a plain seam, carefully trim the seam allowances to 1/4" (or a bit less) then zigzag the seam allowances together, allowing one… [cont.] Answered by kay - Mon May 19 14:05:13 2008 Where can I find sewing patterns of plushies/stuffed animals? Q. I've been obsessed lately with Lolita and was planning on wearing several Lolita outfits next year at the local anime conventions. Now, clothing sewing patterns are not hard to find, but plushie sewing patterns aren't sold in many craft stores or Wal-Mart.

All dealers sell good brands of sewing machines, or they would not be in business. Make a list of what features you would want on a sewing machine. Great buttonhole maker, adjustable needle position are two of mine. Include the type of sewing you would like to do - for quilting, you want a walking foot and 1/4" foot. For garment making - a easy to adjust blind hem foot and zipper foot. Include your budget when making the list. Visit as many sewing machine dealers as you can. If you are a minor, take a parent or guardian. Try out as many machines you can at as many dealers as you can. Take notes. Buy the machine you like best from the dealer you like best - you may be visiting them again and you want someone you can rely on for… [cont.] Answered by Alexa - Fri Apr 10 10:06:31 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "sewing"  suburbanjournals.stltoday.com Tue, 24 Aug 2010 09:16:03 GMT+00:00 , styles St. Louis Post-Dispatch Inside the DIY Style Workshop in St. Charles, there's a whirl of sewing , designing and teaching happening most days of the week. ...
