When it comes to raising a family, one of the biggest changes a parent can expect is an increased cost of living. Kids are cute and wonderful, and raising them is a very rewarding experience, but it is also extremely costly.

There are plenty of projects you can sew for kids. From toys to clothes to school supplies and more, you can find a sewing pattern to fill just about any need you or your kids might have. By sewing the essentials (and non-essentials) for your children, you can provide for them without sacrificing quality to save money.

Bargain brands can be risky, and the cheap versions of some products quickly wear out and need to be replaced. Rather than deal with those headaches, you can sew high quality products for your kids at a fraction of the retail cost.

Back to School Survival Guide: How to Sew the School Essentials

August 18, 2013 by AllFreeSewing Leave a Comment

Getting ready to go back to school is always a stressful time for kids and their parents. You have to figure out what school supplies you have leftover from the previous school year, you have to shop for new supplies, and you have to get yourselves back into the general swing of studying and doing homework again.

Not only is the transition period stressful, it can also do a doozy on your bank account. Fortunately, you can sew some of the back to school essentials your kids will use throughout the year. Not only will sewing school supplies like book covers and lunch bags help bring down the cost of heading back to school, it also lets you explore your creativity and get your kids ready for school with love. Check out the school survival guide below for sewing tutorials that will help your kids get back-to-school ready the fun and thrifty way.

Sewing the Spectrum: Easy Sewing Projects in Every Color of the Rainbow

August 12, 2013 by AllFreeSewing Leave a Comment

We were all introduced to Roy G. Biv as kids, and he has been our best friend for many a craft through life. The rainbow is always a go-to when you need to produce something artsy and are at a loss for ideas. I know when I was expected to turn in an art project and didn’t have ideas, I colored plenty of rainbow starbursts.

Well, sewists, rejoice! Roy G. Biv is there for all of you too. You can use the color spectrum to find inspiration for easy sewing projects.

Instead of coming up with a project and then choosing a color scheme, try starting with a color and working from there. Whether you have sewer’s block (if that doesn’t currently exist, say it enough and we’ll make it catch on), or need an idea to sew someone a gift, start with the rainbow. The easy sewing projects below are organized by color and will help you choose the perfect project for whomever you’ll be crafting.

Sew Baby Book Giveaway

August 6, 2013 by AllFreeSewing 1 Comment

Sew Baby Book GiveawayLet’s all be honest with ourselves. Everyone’s favorite section of the store is the one with the baby clothes and shoes. We all love piecing together adorable little outfits for the little ones, including those of us (like me) who don’t have little ones we are responsible for clothing. For those of you who actually are preparing to bring a baby into the world, we here at AllFreeSewing want to bring the cuteness to you. We are pleased to announce our giveaway of Sew Baby, a wonderful book filled to the brim with easy sewing projects for you to surround your newborn with the softness and cuddliness you’ve always imagined.

Choly Knight’s Sew Baby is the perfect book for any family-member-to-be. Maybe you’re a new parent who is looking to provide your child with the necessities. Or perhaps you’re going to be an aunt, uncle, or even a sibling and you’re in the market for the most perfect baby shower gift known to man. No matter the role you will play in the life of the new bundle of joy, your DIY baby gift is sure to be a hit. Sew Baby is chock full of brilliant tutorials to show you how to make a bib, DIY baby toys, and more.

Before you even make it to the first chapter, the author will walk you through the basics of sewing so everyone can get the most out of her patterns. What’s more, she even labels her projects in accordance with the difficulty level so you can judge best which projects to start with.

My personal favorite part of Sew Baby, which I’m guessing will be yours too, is the final section. At the end of her book, Knight provides her readers with a pattern for every single project. Photo copy the patterns to scale and use them to measure your fabrics with absolute precision. Stick to Sew Baby and there will be nothing standing between you and do-it-yourself baby clothes that grab everyone’s attention.

Whether you’re looking for easy sewing projects to make your child a pair of slippers or you need an easy baby blanket pattern, you will find what you need within the pages of Sew Baby. Leaf through the patterns to decide where you want to start. Perhaps you want to make a bib and will start with the Cottony Clean Bib tutorial. Maybe instead you’re interested in sewing DIY baby toys and will first make some Forest Friends Hand Puppets. For those who want to make DIY baby clothes, you’re also in good hands. You could make your first project Fuzzy Menagerie Character Hats or Sweet Bottoms Baby Bloomers.

No matter what you sew, there’s no doubt that your adorable gift for that adorable baby will please.

Read the full Sew Baby Review here, and enter to win once a day, every day until August 19th.

What is the first pattern you’ll look for if you win a copy of Choly Knight’s Sew Baby?
