"I haven't had my sewing machine out in years, but with this DIY Burberry Rain Cape pattern, it's coming out! This is one that anyone can wear and it will be so useful. This pattern is a must on my list for the whole family. Looking forward to making this one for the whole family. Thank you so much for this free sewing project."

"This is a really good idea. Imagine how soft and cozy the shirts feel from frequent washing, too. I also like how the button down front of one shirt is integrated so that a pillow insert can be used and removed if the pillow case needs washing."

"I have seen so many toppings on doughnuts and they get creative every year. I love how cute these felt doughnuts are, they'd make such cute fillers for a gift basket. There so many other ideas for this tutorial though, so bust out that stash of leftover felt and get to making them."

"I would love to win that Bernina 215 machine ,the sewing machine I had started sewing backwards ans I took it to be fixed and the guy wanted to charge more than I orig. bought it for at the Good Will and and I am on a fixed income and couldn't afford the repairs so sewing has not been one of my pleasures lately."

This tailored and textural Cafe Free Apron Pattern is a great scrap buster! This adorable DIY apron uses French seams to connect fabric strips and a stitching technique which creates a playful wave looking texture. Because of the French seams there are no raw edges on the apron back which means it doesn't require a lining. It also features a simple hand edge binding technique which is easy enough for beginning level sewers and quilters. If you are looking for beginner sewing projects to try out, this easy-to-make sewn apron pattern is the perfect solution.
