21 Reasons You Need To Start Sewing Now

January 22, 2014 by FaveCrafts

Alright people, it’s time to grab that needle and thread or dust off that old sewing machine! Sewing doesn’t have to be scary, daunting or complicated. Once you’ve mastered a few basic patterns, it’s actually one of the easiest, most fun ways to get crafty.

Check out 21 Easy Sewing Projects: DIY Designs and Sewing Craft Ideas – it’s filled with amazing projects that anyone can try. With an updated look, easy-to-follow instructions and fresh projects, this collection is truly a must-have. Best of all, this eBook is completely free to download! Save a copy and put it in a special place, you never know when creative inspiration will strike!

 

 

Sewing Patterns for Clothes

Another great reason to start sewing? You can save a ton of money in the long run. Clothes and accessories go in and out of style all the time, so you’re often buying something from the mall, wearing it a few times and moving on to the next thing. A handmade item costs so much less than a store-bought piece and it’s so much more sentimental in the long run. You don’t have to start from scratch, either. Rework an old men’s shirt, oversized sweatshirts and other items to create something truly unexpected.

Sewing Patterns For Your Favorite Holidays

Need an excuse to get crafty? All you have to do is look at the calendar and find the next holiday. There are plenty of sewn decor items and wearables that can correspond with any holiday. In this eBook, you’ll find multiple patterns for Easter sewing projects. Make your own themed t-shirts, decorations and more – it’s all in this collection. There are also Christmas-inspired patterns and a great gift idea for Mother’s Day. Handmade items are so fun and meaningful, so get sewing and make it an extra special holiday.

Sewing Crafts For Decorating Your Space

When you have a case of the blahs, it’s nice to add a little taste of color to your space. Believe it or not, that single addition can really boost your mood. Add a sewn creation to your kitchen or living room and reap the rewards. Additionally, you can create more functional items like pillows and use them to decorate your home. If you aren’t ready to make a change, you can sew any of these items and give them as gifts. A hostess or friend will absolutely love the finished product.

Sewing Patterns for Bags

It sounds like a cliche to say that bags come in so many shapes and sizes, but it’s actually true! Check out the projects in this eBook and see what we mean. You’ll find patterns for everything from tiny clutches to oversized carriers for sleeping bags. One thing you can count on, though, is that all of these projects are perfect for beginners and so useful. These aren’t the kind of handmade items that you create and stick on a shelf. These are also great gift ideas for anyone in your life.

Sewing a Scrap Dress with Constance Talbot

Amazingly, this AllFreeSewing editor found herself with a free evening. No work, no chores, no obligations. Obviously, I b-lined it to my sewing machine. Before settling down, though, I glanced upon my copy of the famous Constance Talbot’s, The Complete Book of Sewing. Released in 1943 you would think this collection would now be outdated […]
