Sewing clothing is my very favorite thing so there are a lot of clothing sewing tutorials for women and sewing tutorials for men. There are also a lot of clothing projects for girls and boys. My first love in sewing came when I was sewing lots of projects for my little boy.
I’ve had three babies so I’ve made lots and lots of baby clothes, baby accessories, and baby blankets. I sew for both baby boys and baby girls. Baby projects are quick so you can make a lot and they use small amounts of fabric so you don’t lose much if you mess up.
One of my favorite things is creating a home that I love so I also do a lot of home sewing projects. For me sewing for the home isn’t as fun and sewing clothing, but it’s still very rewarding when everything coordinates and is the size I want it to be.
If you prefer to watch sewing tutorials, you can check out my channel full of youtube sewing tutorials.
There are so many sewing blogs with tutorials, but I hope some of these projects inspire you to create something with fabric and a sewing machine! I hope you enjoy your sewing time and learn something new!
