Step 2
Find the fabric store in your area, and spend some time exploring various fabrics and accessories. While you are at the store, look at fabric, notions and patterns. While you are at the store, sign up for their sales flier. Most fabric stores have a number of sales a year.

Step 3
Look through the pattern books for a project to make. The best thing to do is choose a simple project, with little detail, and only a few pattern pieces.

Step 4
After the project has been chosen, read the back of the pattern to find the fabric the pattern recommends. This is where you will find the amount of fabric needed along with all the notions you will need to finish the whole project. Don't forget thread, buttons or anything else you need.
