You need to give us a few more specifics.

For a first time sewer, use lots and lots of pins, and take your time. After a while you can use fewer pins, and go faster. Unless... you're making a quilt... or... :eek: a cat curve... ;)

mutsutake?

i have never sewn anything in my life but im craft with my hands just looking for some good reads in general. anything applicable to sewing outdoor fabrics for quilts, tarps, hammocks, stuff sacks ..ect

worth upto 50 a lb good reason to go hammocking in oregon!

I used this site quite a bit when getting started. It's for kite making, but it's the same concept.

There's always thru-hiker for the mandatory stuff sack project. Makes lots of these and you'll be all set.
