I developed a love for sewing after needing so many items for our Michigan home build (you can see our progress over the past 3 years here). We didn’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on two-story curtains or curtain panels for every other room!
So I thought I could try to sew.
I used an Amazon gift card from my birthday and bought a wonderfully reviewed sewing machine. Then, I did my first project. And it wasn’t a complete failure. 😉 I had lots of room for improvement, but it felt super rewarding to make something myself and save our family some money. It’s become so much easier to sew and quickly look at a project and say “Yes, I could make that for cheaper and it’d be perfect for our space.”
You can do it too! That’s why I scoured the internet for 24 easy sewing projects for your home.
How to Learn Sewing at Home
You don’t need to be an expert to start sewing! I certainly wasn’t when I bought my first sewing machine.
My advice is to start with something small, like a simple pillow cover or fabric napkins. Get comfortable threading your machine, sewing straight lines, and following a basic tutorial before tackling bigger projects.
You also don’t need to buy every sewing accessory right away. Start with the basics and add supplies as you need them.
