    Beginner Sewing Projects-30+ Things to Sew in Under 20 Minutes

    Inspiration· Tips

    29 May

    As you all know, I love quick sewing projects. They are good for working single moms like myself who are limited on time. Small and fast beginner sewing projects is also a good way to use up scraps, which I always seem to accumulate a lot of. Here are some of my favorites. I can’t wait for my 4 year old to get bigger so that we can try out some of these together. All of these projects can be done in under 20 minutes. They work well for personalized gifts or learning projects.  Enjoy!
