Here is the second installment of the Starting Out with Oliver + S series. It\u2019s meant to offer some advice as to where to begin when learning how to sew garments with a sewing machine. Last time we kicked off the series with girl patterns<\/a>. Now today it\u2019s all about boy patterns, but as you already know most boy patterns could be used for a girl, too. Again we are only focusing on the one scissor level patterns<\/a>, which are considered beginner<\/a>.<\/p>\n
