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.

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!
