Beginner sewing patterns use simple construction techniques, fewer pattern pieces, and easy-to-sew fabrics. They come with clear, step-by-step instructions and avoid tricky closures like zippers or buttonholes.
All you need to begin is a sewing machine, fabric, thread, scissors, pins or clips, measuring tape, iron, and your Boo and Lu pattern.
Always go by your body measurements—not ready-to-wear sizes. Each pattern includes a sizing chart to help you choose the right fit. And don’t worry—our tutorials walk you through adjustments if needed.
We recommend stable knit fabrics like cotton spandex or double brushed poly, or woven cottons with a bit of structure. Avoid slippery, stretchy, or sheer fabrics at first—they can be tricky!
