Hi there! Don't be afraid to jump right in there and experiment. =) I do it all the time. I learn alot about my sewing "style". Seems to be the only style I have these days. LoL!! :-D
Do I need to work on seam allowance or cutting methods? Or maybe my pressing techniques? Cutting strips and triangles different widths and sewing them together will help teach you perspective. I have more fun that way. =)
