When I learned to sew at school we made a red gingham apron as a first project. Said apron was then worn for Home Economics classes. Probably not that helpful for you ananimous! In terms of a sewing machine, my absolute favourite brand is Bernina. They are Swiss made, expensive and last forever. They can be bought secondhand and hold their value well.

Could I please have suggestions of what would be a good 1st sewing pattern project for a learner?
I'm getting a new sewing machine for xmas (so, also, recommend away if you love your machine) but have never sewn anything before, and would like an easyish beginner's project.
I may also take classes later on, we'll see.
Thankyou in advance - it's a bit of a hectic night here, so I may pop back much later on if I can. smile
