If you have just bought a new
sewing machine and you want to hone on your sewing skills, creating something
for the holidays that looks great and is fun to make, too, here are a few tips
for you:
-
A case for a laptop –
this cheap and fast project is perfect for beginners or for experienced sewers
who just want to relax a bit. All you will need is some felt, Velcro and a
measuring tape to know exactly the size of the laptop. When the case is done,
you can add some ornaments to get you or the person you give the case to into
the right mood for the holidays;
-
A tote bag – choose two
suitably sized pieces of strong fabric, such as canvas that feature patterns or
colors that match, but are not identical and some material for the lining. The
creation process involves only sewing in a straight line, so the trick is to
get the measurements right;
-
A headband made from
soft fleece – a great piece to wear in fall and winter and a great gift, too,
making a fleece headband is among the easiest and fastest sewing projects that
you can think of. If you have an old sewing machine, don't replace it, just take it to a sewing machine repair Arvada shop for a tune-up.
