Lead out in cuffs posted:Oh god. Now I've ordered a bunch of minky, am making an otter for my 7-week-old, and having ideas for gifts for friends, nieces, etc. What have you done? That happens every time I even glance at her emails. And minky is hard to find here!

It just kinda boils down to, there's a lot I don't know and I don't know what's important to know. Does it matter if I'm using cotton or polyester thread? Is the brand of thread important at all or is it just a preference thing? The local craft store has an absolutely overwhelming range of fabrics and I'm usually too nervous to ask the staff WTF 'bonded fleece' is vs regular fleece. I highly recommend doing some small felt projects! Especially if you are hand sewing as opposed to a machine. The material is dirt cheap - found at Dollar Stores - and the material is very beginner friendly. I adore making 3D objects, myself. Try some ornaments or desserts (my personal favorite). Templates are all over Pinterest! As for thread, for hand sewing and starting out it really doesn't matter. I recommend finding an "all purpose" thread. You can even use dollar store sewing thread if you want, but if you want to use it for a sewing machine as well I recommend all-purpose.
