Grow from a beginner to intermediate "sewist" on your own schedule with this complete and thorough sewing course!

Welcome to KidSew! This week we will be exploring our machines and getting our sewing feet wet by making a stuffed pillow. You will not need to print a pattern for this week. 

It might be helpful to watch the recording all the way through first. You do have the option to pause, rewind and fast forward as needed, though, so you might be able to watch as you sew. It's up to you!

Project 1: Stuffed pillow

Now that you are hopefully a bit more confident with your machine, we're going to jump in and make a fully lined, extra-large tote bag! 

There are several more steps and it might take you longer to make this week's project at first, but are a quick sew once you know how to make them. They make great gifts too! There is no pattern to print for this project.

Project 2: Tote Bag


This week we will be making a pair of gym or pajama shorts. The size of the first pattern goes up to size 14 (girls), but the second one is for adult sizes and typically fits boys as well. In the tutorial I will also discuss how to make the shorts less form-fitting, if you want a looser pant leg.

Make sure to pay close attention to the tutorial and sew slowly and carefully. Stretch fabrics are a little tricky to sew with, but you can do it!


Project 3: Gym Shorts

This week we will be working on an apron, which will help you learn skills like gathering and sewing exterior pockets. This particular apron is sized for a small child (approx kids' sizes 6 - 9), but is a good practice size. Even if it might be too small for you it could make an excellent gift, uses less fabric, and you will learn critical sewing skills that you can use to make a larger apron later.

Project 4: Child Apron

Our 5th project will be a zippered pencil pouch. You can use any non-stretch fabric you like. You won't need a separate pattern, but you will need your machine's zipper foot. 

Sewing zippers can be tricky but I know you can do it!

Project 5: Zippered Pouch

Now that you have learned how to print and read PDF patterns, follow basic sewing directions and troubleshoot when necessary, the next step is to learn some hand-sewing skills! This is critical for anyone who wants to be able to alter and hem their own clothing, and also comes in handy when you're closing up small turning holes for stuffies, pillows and more.

For this project you can practice your hand-sewing by making a small plushie with button eyes.
