How To Sew An Oversized Sleep Mask so-sew-easy This DIY oversized sleep mask is a must for seasoned travelers or busy Moms. Most sleep masks are too small and let light in around the edges, defeating the purpose entirely. I found this simple pattern for an over-sized sleep mask – perfect to block the world out for a quick nap or while traveling! Its perfect to sell online in your Etsy shop or at a neighborhood craft fair as well. This is one of my favorite ideas for things to sell on Etsy.

People love choosing from all of the different fabrics I offer when I make these DIY coasters, and they make the perfect gift for friends and stocking stuffer ideas.

Twenty Minute Tote Bag purlsoho My daughter went off to college this semester and needed a new tote bag for basic classroom supplies. A hand sewn tote bag is a great DIY gift idea for the student in your family. I used an 80s retro printed cotton and some leftover polka dot fabric I had from making a tablecloth last Summer. I followed this very simple tutorial and it only took about an hour to complete this handmade easy DIY shopping bag. 8. DIY Easy Oven Mitt gingercake I had always wanted to make a DIY oven mitt and about a year ago my mother in law gave me a box of fabrics and other sewing odds and ends. Among the goodies was this hand drawn paper oven mitt pattern. It looked so easy! I was excited to share it here on the blog and this week I finally sat down to make it. It literally takes about 1/2 an hour. I suppose you could fancy it up with patchwork and more elaborate quilting and let it take you a whole hour if you would like! Begin by printing out the pattern pieces, cutting them out and taping the 2 halves together. Follow instructions on the pattern piece to cut out your fabric and batting pieces on the fold. Make sure you cut the interior fabric 1" longer than the others to make the hem in the last step. I love sewing decor ideas for the kitchen, and people love buying these for Christmas gifts. 9. Double Sided Tissue Pouch Tutorial gluesticksblog A two-sided tissue holder pouch is perfect for cold and flu season. One side can hold a pack of tissues, the other side can hold a mini bottle of sanitizer and a lip gloss! I decided to make some little tissue pouches to put in the kid’s backpacks and one for my purse. They all like the single sized tissue packages, but they don’t always hold up well being tossed around in a bag with books and binders. These tissue pouches are super easy to make (under 15 minutes) and my version is double sided! The extra pocket is just the right size to hold a mini bottle of hand sanitizer and a lip gloss. Perfect to battle those germs at school or on the 10. Circle Zip Earbud Pouch Tutorial erinerickson I use a little zippered pouch to carry around my earbuds since they are the fancy microphone ones and I don’t want them to break or get tangled. If you are looking for some small, simple gift ideas, this is definitely simple to make and it's a little more fun than the typical rectangular zippered pouch! I can see these as the perfect gift for teenage cousins or nieces or girlfriends or even teacher gifts. Fun, quick, and cute! It doesn’t take very much fabric so you could even use scraps! Sometimes I have the perfect fabric for something but I only have a fat quarter, or I want to make something extra with the leftovers from another project. This is perfect for that. You could even use 5″ charm squares! This is a very basic zippered pouch, so hopefully, some of you beginners will try making one! One of my top teen crafts for gifts, this project is nice for sewing beginners and teenagers. 11. DIY Girl's Purse fynesdesigns 12. Pot Holder Notepad Pocket craftyjournal 13.
