Beginner-Friendly Projects

Scrunchies

I make them with 5” by 18” cotton fabric — a perfect beginner project and great for using scraps.

Quilted Tote Bag

A great first sewing project. You’ll practice straight seams, seam allowance, and basic bag construction

Crosstown Crescent Bag

+ Lane Pants

Beginner-friendly patterns — great next steps once you’re comfortable with the basics.

“If sewing feels hard at first, you’re doing it right.
Every project teaches you something new — even the wonky ones.”

Tools I Use & Love

These are the sewing tools I use regularly and recommend for beginners. You don’t need everything at once — start simple and build as you go.
