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.”
— Angelina, Bergamot Sunshine Co.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.
