Hey there Reader โ€“

This is the first sewing project I walk my students through...

and trust me, you can sew it too! I love this easy to sew project that I first discovered on DIY Tutorials by Melissa. Since finding it, I've made a few adjustments for my workshops, but the original tutorial is still great! Check it out here!

Reusable Bag Tutorial

Looking for a fun easy project to sew on your new machine and test your skills? This easy bag is something that you can take on in an afternoon or weekend. Easy to throw in your car, purse, backpack, or anywhere you could need a reusable bag!

Besides this easy and fun tutorial, I've also linked some of my favorite beginner tutorials down below as well! And they're not just bags ๐Ÿ‘€ Keep scrolling for 5 more beginner friendly projects you can sew! Some of them are even FREE! These projects are the perfect starting points to get a jumpstart on your sewing projects for the new year.
