I have the material, the pattern, and a fair bit of sewing experience of basic items i.e. Cushions, a quilt, a couple of bags, and recently a huge pair of fully lined curtains. Tracing paper, a seam gauge and a tracing wheel are on order.
I've never sewn from a pattern before though or done things like darts (whatever they are), and words like grain and selvedge are scaring me.
Can I have top tips, big no-no's, and friendly advice please?
