If you like to sew your own clothes for yourself and your family, or like to sew crafts and home decor, there are lots of sewing patterns on the market now. I'll show you where you can find patterns on the internet (even some FREE ones). When my daughter (Eelkat), was a little girl, I sewed almost all her clothes and dolls. I made her a new dress each Christmas and made us matching outfits each Easter. Dolls, bears and Raggedy Anne & Andy were her companions right from my sewing machine! Later, I made her a Prom gown to wear to church dances. Then, I taught her to sew and she now sews her own clothes and does embroidery. Sewing is lots of fun and you can create so many things from fabrics you can pick out and can make many things for your home with coordinating fabrics. Your lucky family and friends will be the recipients of fine hand made gifts. Making baby or wedding shower gifts can bring joy to the lucky receiver for cherished heirlooms to hand down through generations! Make stuffed animals for a childs birthday, pillows for a teens bedroom, tablecloths with matching napkins for an aunt, fabric picture frames for mom, embroidered linens, a quilt, ties or a vest for the men in your family, dolls clothes for baby dolls or Barbie, and the list could go on and on. I'll show you some pictures to help inspire you. You could let a child or teen in the family choose their own fabric for a project. Save all the leftover fabric scraps to sew together into a cherished quilt. Warm fleece fabrics can be sewn into hats,scarfs and mittens for cold winter days. How about a picnic tablecloth and matching napkins for summer outings? Some of my kids and myself love to take out lots of books at the library. Make your favorite bookworm a tote bag for those books. If you have a teen interested in sewing, why not pass on that skill by teaching them how to sew their own fun things? Start with something simple and square or round like a pillow or even a tote bag. They will thank you and get years of enjoyment from this hobby. You can go beyond just a hobby and have your own craft business sewing all kinds of things to sell. Go to your local fabric store to browse through the major sewing patterns like: Simplicity, McCalls and Butterick. Vogue is more expensive with harder to sew designer patterns, but fun to get ideas from. There are lots more patterns from many sources on the internet to choose from. I'll get you started here with sewing and pattern books, supplies like buttons, thread, pattern paper, scissors, and other supplies and a neat sewing basket to hold all your supplies!
