Sewing Guidelines for a First Garment
Make bound buttonholes after your first basted garment if the pattern specifies them. Try the dress on in basted form before using a full length mirror in good light. Let the dress hang several hours after thorough pressing. Ensure the machine is oil free and clean the needle with a blotter if oil smeared it. Avoid fancy effects and excessive trimming. Choose buttons that match fabric color.
