Here's a fast and fabulous Valentine's gift idea everyone will love, because it includes both adorable fabric and yummy candy. We created a cellophane bag topper from small fabric squares, stitched on a personalized message of love, and sealed it with a secret quick-release basting stitch. When it's finished its job as a bag topper,
It’s a cute banner AND a secret learn-to-spell game. Each pennant has a front and back so you can put a different letter on either side. Easy to string and re-string; make lots and spell out a new word every day.
These happy half aprons are made in pretty quilting weight cottons with trendy metallic accents. A secret to their perfect-partyness are the layers of colorful tulle. We have one size for big girls and one for their little helpers.
We were inspired to create this classic Halloween project not just because it's a fast and fun decorating idea for spooky season, but also because of our personal "bat encounter."

A handsome binding in alternating fabrics is set against a field of soft, double-sided fleece. We personalized it with a name embroidered in one corner. Even if you’re brand new, you can create this blanket in just a couple hours.

It’s so sad when Frosty melts away, so we came up with a way to keep him safe year ‘round: a set of three round pillows. The fronts feature a snowman smile, buttons, and scarf. Flip over and they’re plain furry pillows to leave out longer.
Designed with little girls in mind, they can inject a bit of glamour into your lovely locks as well. The “petals” are made from small scraps of fancy fabrics held together with a tiny faceted bead. A nearly-no-sew project.

Everyone loves a fast and easy project, and these pretty pillowcases fit the bill! A new pillowcase is a great way to freshen a set of bed linens. Kids are especially happy to rest their sleepy heads on pillows covered in fun fabric. We originally used the Playful collection by Melody Miller for Cotton +
We're still playing with poms here at Sew4Home. After reviewing the Clover Pom Pom Makers, we couldn't quite shake the balls of fluff from our brains. For this project, we downsized, stringing mini 1" poms on cord to form a colorful garland, then looping the garland through a split ring to create a whimsical lanyard.
