Easy to use visual tutorials for experienced and beginner sewists alike!
In between Me Made May, that pattern sewalong, and making up a new dress for your office party, who has time to remember all the techniques you've learned along the way?! I constantly find myself referring back to my notes to see how I did a lapped zipper, added a blind hem on my serger, or inserted a buttonhole on my knit dress.
For this reason, I started to organize my notes into quick-reference visual tutorials, originally published on Handmaker's Factory as The Index Card Tutorials. Experienced sewists will be able to quickly scan the tutorials to remember where they left off, and beginner sewists can follow along with the full-length instructions that accompany each tutorial.

This is an ever-evolving project with more tutorials added regularly. My hope is that it will benefit you as much as it does me!
