Sew yourself some sassy lingerie

Sew your next favorite dress

A dress is a fantastic wear-it-now project. These free dress sewing patterns are beginner-friendly, but more advanced sewers can have fun customizing the patterns with fun trims and other extras.

Stitch a sturdy duffel bag

Make a fun accessory with felt

If you don’t have a lot of time to sew something, a felt accessory is a great choice. Felt is durable and somewhat stiff, so it’s easy to work with, too. This collection features all kinds of accessories, from bookmarks to brooches and even tech cases.
