Sewing Glossary Free Printable for Beginners Intro

Learning how to sew isn’t something that happens overnight. Before you start, it’s important to become familiar with all the terminology involved. To make things easier, I’ve created a free printable sewing glossary to help you out.

Get Your Free Printable Sewing Glossary

Similar to the Cross-Stitch Terms Glossary, this printable guide explains all the important sewing terms and their meanings. This guide is alphabetically ordered for easy reference and is ready to be printed.

Everyone learns differently, but if you’re like me, you’d probably want to have all these terms handy in your sewing room and refer to them whenever you need to.

To download the printable just fill out the form below, and you’ll get your copy straight into your inbox.

As a newbie to the world of sewing, you may be feeling a bit daunted by all the technical terms. I know I was, and to be honest it was a bit of a challenge to learn them all without someone to help me out.

Don’t let sewing terminology overwhelm you! This free printable explains all the essential terms, such as the bias of the fabric, boning, seams, hems, buttonholes, gatherings, interfacing – and so much more. Knowing all these meanings is key to helping you progress in your sewing journey.

If you need help visualizing the terms, you can check out the essential sewing terms for beginners article. There, you can find the same terms explained, with helpful photos to help you understand and remember them more easily.

How to Use the Sewing Glossary?

When you have downloaded it, you can keep your guide on your device and refer to it whenever you need to.

Or, you can print it out and keep it close in your craft room. I promise, it’ll come in handy as a beginner when it comes to remember all the terms!
