Welcome to the Sew Daily eBook: 4 Free Sewing

Patterns: Easy Sewing Projects for Beginners and All

Sewists.

We wanted to create a collection o projects that are

simple or beginners to take on and complete, while also

being so cute that you will want to make them no matter

what your sewing skill level is. I think that you will love

the darling projects we have hand-picked rom recent

issues o Stitch .

The garden-inspired Springtime Bibs project by

Heidi Boyd is almost too pretty or dinnertime. Made

with organic terry or an absorbent backing and an easy-

on-and-o Velcro closure, these bibs will make even the

most challenging meals with wiggly toddlers a pleasure.

Embellished with a colorul carrot and strawberry and

nished with bias tape, these bibs look much harder to

make than they are. This is a great impress-your-riends-

and-amily project.

The Pretty Petals Clutch by Rebeka Lambert is a

unique bag made rom your avorite scraps. Featuring

used appliquéd petals and a handul o sewn-on buttons,

this small clutch’s bright embellishments make a big

impression without eating up a big chunk o your sewing

time.

For resting your peepers, the Lavender-Infused Eye

Pillow by Mary Walter couldn’t be easier to make. It’s two

rectangles o pretty abric lled with soothing lavender

and axseed. Just takes an hour to make and you have the

perect accessory or a calming afernoon or the perect

gif or someone you love.

Go green with the reusable Snack Bags by Rosemarie

DeBoer. The clever carriers or kids and adults alike are

lined with waterproo abric and decorated with your

choice o happy abric on the outside. It’s a quick way to

eel good about your munchies.

I just love the variety o these easy sewing projects,

which range rom stylish to practical, and can make great

presents as well as a great way to pamper yoursel. I hopethat they will make your lie more beautiul and inspire

you to take on more challenging sewing patterns.

Happy stitching,

amber eden Editor, Stitch magazine and

nOteS

—All seam allowances are ½" unlessotherwise indicated.

cOnStruct bib

1 Cut a 13" × 11" rectangle from theMain fabric. Cut a 5" × 11" rectanglefrom the Contrast fabric. Lay the tworectangles right sides together, aligningone 11" edge, and sew together. Pressthe seam open.

2 From the interfacing, cut one121 ⁄ 2" × 11" rectangle and one 41 ⁄ 2" × 11"rectangle. Slide the appropriately sizedinterfacing rectangle under the seamallowances from each side, butting theinterfacing raw edge against the seamand aligning the raw edges aroundthe rectangle perimeter. Follow themanufacturer’s instructions to fusethe interfacing to the wrong side of thepieced cotton rectangle.

3 Iron a separate piece of interfacingto the wrong side of each of theappliqué fabrics. Use the templatesto cut the Carrot or Strawberry andthe corresponding Leaf from theappropriate fabrics.

4 Referring to the photos above for

placement, pin the Leaf appliqué ontothe bib. Remember that the piecedcotton will be trimmed to size later (itmight help to use the Bib pattern tovisualize finished dimensions as youplace the appliqué); use the center ofthe fabric block and the seam betweenfabrics as guides for placing theappliqué. With matching thread, use ashort straight stitch to sew the Leaf tothe bib, sewing 1 ⁄ 8" inside the appliquéedges. Add more lines of stitching toindicate the leaf veins, if desired.

5 Pin the Carrot or Strawberry

appliqué over the base of the Leaf.Change the color of your thread tocomplement the appliqué and set themachine for a zigzag satin stitch. Note:Use 2 scraps of interfaced fabric totest your stitch settings before workingon the bib; the stitch should cover thefabric edges completely and smoothlywithout gaps or bunching. As you sewaround the Carrot or Strawberry, alignthe edge of the fabric under the center

of the presser foot, ensuring that thezigzag stitch spans from one fabric tothe other, trapping the cut fabric edgein the center of the stitch.

6 Cut a 17" × 11" rectangle from the

terry cloth. Lay the assembled bib front(right side up) over the terry fabric (rightside down), and then pin the bib patternover both pieces. Lift the pattern to doublecheck the appliqué placement within thebib perimeter. Cut both fabrics along thepattern outline. Set the terry aside.

7 Cut 2 pieces of Velcro 2" long.Separate the hook and loop portions ofthe fastener. Lay the 2 hook pieces (thestiffer part) on the fabric right side at theend of the bib’s left neck strap (as worn;

figure 1). Sew the Velcro in place alongthe edges of each strip (don’t worry if

the Velcro hangs over the edges slightly;you’ll trim it later). Position and sew thesofter loop strips of the fastener to theright side of the terry at the end of thebib’s right neck strap (as worn; figure 1).Note:With both the terry and the piecedbib panel face up, the Velcro positionsappear to be the same, figure 1 showsvelcro placement as it would appear withterry and pieced cotton bibs wrong sidestogether. Trim the Velcro so that its edgesare flush with the terry and cotton fabrics.

8 Lay the terry and pieced cotton bibswrong sides together, matching all rawedges, and pin. Stitch 1 ⁄ 8" from the rawedges all the way around.

9 Unfold the bias tape. Press 1 ⁄ 4" tothe wrong side at one end of the tape.Beginning with the pressed end at arelatively straight portion of the bibperimeter, near the neck straps, matchthe bias tape’s raw edge to the bib’s rawedge and stitch along the first crease inthe bias tape. Continue around the entirebib perimeter. When you return to thestarting point, overlap the pressed endof the bias tape 1 ⁄ 2" and cut off the excess

length. Refold the bias tape along theoriginal creases, folding it around the bibraw edges. Slip stitch the bias tape to theseamline on the bib wrong side, enclosingthe raw edges.
