[quote=Anonymous]I'm starting to sew but have several questions, hoping I can learn from your collective expertise! 1. How many yards of fabric does one need for making pillow shams that go on a bed or sofa? Is there a general yardage amount for these small projects? When I go to the fabric store I always get confused about how much to buy, and fabric is not cheap. 2. I'm plus-sized and I find the ready made clothes I buy never fit right. Tops are always too big in the bust/armhole and waist (but perfect in the belly) and pants always gape at the back. Would sewing darts in the bust help with fit issues on the top? And how many yards of fabric would I need to make a top for myself? Size 16/18 on top. 3. Are there any good sewing blogs or forums good for beginners? Thanks so much! [/quote]
