Intimidated by the simplest home sewing project? Nancy Erickson offers the following tips:

– Buy inexpensive fabric to try out a look and assure accurate yardage.

– Solid colors with some texture will be the most interesting and won`t require pattern matching.

– Don`t skimp on fabric. Lush folds and thick swags look richer, even in muslin.

– The Sewing Fashion Council and the American Home Sewing & Craft Association Council have a hotline that lists sewing classes nationwide: 800- USEW-NOW.
