Cute summer hair is easy with a twist wire headband like this. Headed to the beach? To the park? Just running errands around town? Pull your hair back in a twist wire headband and you’ve got fun summer hair with no fuss. There’s no need to tie a knot – just twist the ends of the headband around each other and the wires inside will hold it in place. It’s also great for holding your hair up in a bun. Perfect for hot summer days when you want to keep your hair off your neck!

Petro at Easy Peasy Creative shows how you can sew a twist wire headband. It’s a quick little project you can sew in about 30 minutes. Though I have a feeling that once you sew one, you’ll want to sew a bunch! And why not? Because if one cute headband is good, a stack of them is even better! And then you can have one to match any outfit. Head to Easy Peasy Creative for the twist wire headband sewing tutorial.

Sew a Pincushion for Pins, Needles, and Fabric Clips

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion. You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again. There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from. Some magnetic, some fabric. Some cute, some purely functional. This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing. Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins. The bottom section is for your regular straight pins. Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them. The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles. I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion. It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it. So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips. Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin. They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth). You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
