Blog

There is nothing like creating your own designer-style clothing and accessories to enhance your wardrobe. You are in full control of the fabrics and styles you like best and nobody else will have clothing and accessories like you. Following a few tips will help you create clothing and accessories that are uniquely yours.

Invest in the right equipment

You do not have to have the most expensive or top-of-the-line sewing machine to be a great seamstress, but you do need to have a machine that runs smoothly. If you spend more time troubleshooting your sewing machine than stitching, it will lead to frustration. The best machine is one you feel comfortable operating and do not feel intimidated by.

It is always best to visit a reputable sewing machine dealer and test drive several models to find one that is a good fit for you. Many sewing machine dealers offer workshops on how to use your new machine. Taking advantage of these workshops will help you become familiar with the features and maintenance tips to keep your machine running smoothly, which will lead to many trouble-free hours of stitching.

Take advantage of software

There are several fashion designer software programs you can take advantage of when starting to design your own clothing. Some of these programs offer a free trial period. These programs will teach you insider fashion design tricks and can give you confidence in creating your own clothing and accessory line.

Brush up on your sewing skills

If you have basic sewing skills, you will want to brush up on some of the techniques you will find in designer styles. Pleats, French seams, invisible zippers, piping, flat-felled seams, button plackets, and metal grommets are all techniques you will find in designer clothing and accessories. Practicing these techniques before you begin sewing will save you time in the long run.

Be picky about fabrics and notions

You cannot skimp on fabrics if you want to create beautiful and durable clothing. It is imperative that you choose fabrics from a reputable manufacturer. You should always choose the best thread, seam tape, and embellishments when making your own garments and accessories to achieve the best outcome. 

From fashionable totes to stunning eveningwear, there is no limit to the amount of fun clothing and accessories you can design and sew. When you become your own fashion designer, you are always in control of the fabrics and embellishments you choose for your unique style. Following a few designer success tips will help you create a wardrobe that is sure to be the envy of all your friends.
