Sewing was something that I saw my mom do often. I can’t even imagine the gorgeous sewing projects that she would do with the beautiful fabrics and patterns that we can find today. I love fabric and smart ideas so today I am combining both and sharing some of my favorite sewing projects ever. These ideas would make beautiful gifts that you can do for someone else or for yourself!
Let’s take a look!

Your post showing your Mom’s sewing machine really caught my eye because my mom used the same machine and it’s the one I learned on. What a coincidence! I loved the ironing board organizer and pin cushion. I don’t know why I haven’t thought of it before. I use pins at my ironing board all the time. Thanks for all the tips.
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!

Hye,
Thanks for that bright idea of sewing machine mat – That’s really useful – I intend to add it a place to put the pins’box –
Friendly yours,
Lucie
It is my understanding that the metal grommet on the iPhone charging bag should not be used due to a possible fire hazard. There is a disclaimer in the comments of that post. I’ve made several of these and a button hole, simple or fancy works just fine.
Thank you for all the other projects I hope to try several, starting with the sewing machine cover.
