Small Sewing Projects and Easy Handmade Gift Ideas

Small sewing projects offer a rewarding way to practise useful techniques without committing to a large or complicated make. This collection of downloadable PDF sewing tutorials includes practical fabric accessories, thoughtful handmade gifts and manageable projects for beginner and improving sewists. Each guide uses clear written steps and supporting photographs to help you understand the construction process from cutting the fabric to completing the final seam.

These projects are ideal when you want to use a favourite print, make good use of fabric remnants or create a personal gift for someone special. Many can be completed in a shorter sewing session and adapted with different colours, prints and finishing details.
