Easy to sew Lounge wear
More loungewear to sew, easy for beginners
I have shown you how to sew loungewear before but I don't know about you but I need some more.
This is a post for beginners and those not used to sewing stretch fabrics. Use the search tool in the sidebar to find mote posts for "sewing Newbies "
I have a disability as you know, I have Parkinsons, so please never give up on doing what you love, its just a question of finding different ways to do things.
I have been raiding my stash and finding any fabric with stretch, from Ponte Roma to a wool melange knit and this is my result.

Sewing stretch Fabrics the easy way
Sewing for Beginners
An easy to sew dress in fabulous Stretch Velour
- Don't make it too clingy or it will show up the lumps and bumps we all have.
- Choose a thicker fabric with just a small amount of stretch
- Choose a darker colour and possibly a print
- Wear the correct underwear - there is a lot of very good shapewear and it will help you to feel confident
- Don't be frightened of accentuating your waist with a wide belt

Cosying up in cuddle fleece
Cold evenings just lend themselves to this snuggly cuddly fleece. Just picture yourself all toasty snuggled up with your book or favourite TV programme
Nothing could be easier to make, and with so much fabric choice you can not go wrong .
How fabulous it will be to make these for children You could add an applique design to the front- a Christmas design maybe, or whatever you fancy. Just a simple heart or a star in sequin fabric will be fabulous
