Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Nicole here from Modern Handcraft shares a tutorial at Therm O Web showing how to make her Laminated Letters Placemat. It’s a laminated placemat with colorful letters. She made hers with the whole alphabet to help her son learn his letters, but you could customize it with a child’s name or a favorite saying. Fusible webbing and iron-on vinyl makes this a quick, easy project. Go to Therm O Web for the tutorial.

I like having a little extra coverage when I wear leggings, but I could never find a cute top that was just the right length. So I decided to make this Easy Sew Shirt Extender! This is so simple to sew and is an easy sewing project for beginners. It is easy to layer under your shirt or top of choice and I added some lace trim to mine for a fancier look. You can mix and match colors and fabrics to suit your needs!
