Just imagine!
It’s a carnival day in your town and it’s like everyone and their dog came out to have fun at the same time. Literally. Even though it’s summer, the place is jam packed with people, it’s super hot and stuffy, you can hardly breathe, you’re sweaty and itchy, the air is stale and smelly, all you want to do is get as far away as possible from this place.
You keep on walking and walking and walking in one direction, determined to get a moment of peace far from the crowd and suddenly you feel this cool, fresh breeze sweeping across your face, as if someone just opened the doors to heaven itself! It’s calm, it’s soft, it’s PERFECT. Ah! Do you know that feeling?
That’s EXACTLY the feeling I get when I’m working on a quick and easy sewing project.
Quick and easy sewing projects are such a joy to create. Imagine yourself working on a BIG project that’s taking you several days to complete, for me it can be quite frustrating. So, what I do is; I take a break from it and switch to a small quick and easy project that I can whip up in an hour or less. And boy, it makes me feel SO much better and more productive. It has some sort of reviving power. I swear! So, with the intention of sharing this reviving power, in this post I’m sharing 10 super quick and easy sewing projects that are even fit for a beginner.
The list also contains 3 projects that you can sew and wear. Awesome right? Like you can actually sew something up in just few minutes and then wear it!
