Learning to sew.

Sewing is a frugal skill that will stay with you a lifetime and save you a ton of money. Even if you just learn basic beginner sewing projects like sewing on a button or fixing a tear in your favorite shirt.

Growing up both my Grandmother and my Mom loved sewing and creating. They made quilts, dresses, shirts, toys and so much more. Now that I have children my Mother has branched into making bibs, burp clothes, pajamas and cozy flannel blankets.

I think it’s amazing what one can make in an afternoon on a sewing machine. Once my youngest is a little bigger and I have more time I can’t wait to get back into sewing.

Below you will find 7 simple beginner sewing patterns and projects. These are a collection of hand sewing and sewing machine projects curated for the beginner.

Making money with basic sewing skills.

Are you looking for ways to make some extra money? If you can learn to sew a blanket edge or baby bib you can create an additional income for yourself.

Locally we have people who have created home based businesses sewing quilts, blankets, clothes, baby items and more. Some of these people support their family with their creative earnings. Working their businesses around their family schedules.

With a sewing business you are not limited to just local sales. You can branch into online sales via crafting sites, personal blogs or crafting markets.
