Clothing Crafty Tip
Practise, practise, practise! - learn all the stitches there are to learn and practise them by having a go at as many different patterns as you can. By doing this you will subconsciously be familiarising yourself with all of them so that in the not too distant future you will be able to simply look at a picture of something and tell/know how it was made - THEN very soon you will be able to manipulate those stitches that you know so well to make your very own stunning patterns/designs! (that's what I did anyway....)
