How To: Combine sewing pattern pieces for beginners

Sewing patterns are a godsend if you're a beginner at sewing who's trying to get into making clothes and accessories like scarves and bags. A pre-drawn pattern helps you learn proportions, measurements, and drafting techniques you'll need later on when you design your own clothing.

For those times when sewing patterns simply aren't enough, you need to know how to combine sewing patterns to create your own pattern. Watch this video to learn how to do this.
