I’ve been all about sewing lately, but since I’m still learning, I spend a lot of time looking for easy sewing projects for beginners. There are SO MANY great choices, but a lot the beginner sewing projects I come across don’t necessarily spark my interest. Ever feel like you see the same things over and over again on Pinterest? In case you’re in the same boat as I am, I wanted to round up the best easy sewing projects I could find to help all you beginner sewers find a fun project that actually feels a bit unique. You know I’m always on the lookout for new ideas that haven’t been done 100 times, so I hope all these sewing projects for beginners feel new for you too.
I know some of these may look a bit intimidating, but I really think all of these are actually easy sewing projects! Some require minimal sewing and some may only need a bit of hand sewing, but I think they’ll be great sewing projects to practice with as you hone your skill. As a pillow hoarder, I’m always excited to see new pillow tutorials and (generally speaking) pillows are easy to make. Clothes, on the other hand, are a little more work for me since the measurements need to be very precise in order to fit. Find your favorite idea and give it a try!
