Make it an Oh-Sew-Crafty Easter with Free Sewing eBook

April 13, 2011 by AllFreeSewing

Is it just me, or do you like crafting for Easter more than for any other holiday?  Everyone always gets so pumped about making Christmas ornaments and wreaths and stockings, but for me, it’s all about dyeing eggs, making stuffed bunnies and creating the most adorable Easter baskets ever.  There’s something about the warm Spring weather, the trees blooming, and my favorite pastel colors reappearing in store windows… all of it just makes me happy and want to CREATE.

Well, the editors of AllFreeSewing.com just made my day with their new free eBook, 8 Easter Sewing Projects.  There are some really great ideas inside.  I can’t get over how cute the Easter basket sewing pattern is!  I’ve made my fair share of Easter baskets, but I’ve never seen one like this.  It’s more like a soft tote bag than a traditional Easter basket, but that just means you can use it all season long, and not just during your Easter egg hunt!

My other favorite project from this awesome collection of 8 Easter sewing projects is the little felt Easter egg jelly bean bag.

I’m planning on making a bunch of these to give out at my Easter brunch.  They’re great for kids, but I’m pretty sure the adults will love them too.  😛  These adorable Easter crafts are perfectly sized for jelly beans, mini chocolate eggs, or any other Easter candy you can scrounge up.  I’m also thinking of making a couple to use as Easter decorations around the house.  What better way to celebrate than with these sweet and simple crafts for Easter?!

If these Easter projects have inspired you, you can download the FREE eBook and check out all eight sewing patterns.  But don’t wait too long… there are less than two weeks until Easter, so the time to craft is now!

Crochet and knitting fans, don’t worry, we have you covered too!  Check out these awesome projects:
