20 Sewing Projects

Sewing has been a very handy skill for me to have. I make things I need, things my family needs, and I often sew gifts for others. It has been a wonderful and satisfying outlet for my creativity that has also blessed and brought joy to others. It helps me to save money as I often need to spend very little on the projects I make; I look for ways to reuse and recycle fabric. I put together 20 projects for you from my Wednesday link parties. Some require a sewing machine and some don't, some are easy, some are not. I'm sure you can find something you would like to make for yourself! 

Look please... at this beautiful pillow! That is all hand stitched beading and quilting work you are looking at! I think I drooled at little when I first saw it because I sat at my computer with my mouth open for so long! It takes talent, skill and amazing patience to accomplish such a masterpiece, what an artist. You will find out more about this pillow and see more beautiful photos of it and other things at Ivy, Phyllis and Me. 

What a great idea this is? AND simple too! fix those holey pants and perhaps ones that are too short. Check it out at Callie's Crafts.

Here's another jeans-to-shorts idea from Craftiments.

So or should I say sew :) cute! Love these little towels! Find out how easy it is to make them at Sophisticated Yellow. These would make great gifts too don't you think? 



Little baby boy Bow Ties and burp clothes....what a nice gift! See how she made it at Carrissa Miss.

What adorable bunnies! Joyce has a super good tutorial for them and they are quick and easy to make. Oh my the fun you could have with dressing them up! I pinned this one for when my girls are old enough for the sewing machine though they could hand sew them now! Find instructions and tutorial over at What Happens at Grandma's. 

Look at these cuties! What a great sewing project for the kids! I will be trying this out with my G kids for sure. Maybe we will make several and then the kids can have a puppet show with them. Too fun! You will find the how to at The Art Club Blog. 

This is a bag charm and it is charming! Crafting With Ruth Cartwright is where you will find this fun idea.

Use up those scraps and make a pretty garland. This could be another one for the kids to work on this summer! See it all at Our Old Homestead. 

This apron also has pockets on the inside too! What a great idea! See lots of re-purposed denim projects at this site sewing for a good cause; Sewing For Utange.
