The Simple Sewing Series by Farmhouse on Boone

I love to share sewing tutorials on this blog. Nearly every way I look in my home has something I have made with my own two hands. I noticed I was getting a lot of questions on Instagram and Youtube on the sewing basics.

People want to sew, but first they need to know how to even thread the sewing machine.

That is why I decide to create this free sewing course for beginners!

It is a ten video series that will walk you through everything you need to know to dust off that old sewing machine and start creating some beautiful and simple items for your home. I walk you through how to thread a machine, create a hem, make a seam, sew a ruffle, and add a button hole. 

When you’ve completed the course, scroll down to the end of this page for a full list of Farmhouse on Boone sewing tutorials and test out your new skills!

I promise anyone can sew. It is easier than you think, especially once you get the hang of it!
