8 Sewing Projects

Good morning! I know things are super heavy in the world right now. Sometimes I am so grateful I have this little blog to distract me from all the craziness! I hope your family & friends are doing well. Remember we can do hard things! I am thinking & praying for everyone that is struggling right now. In the meantime, this week’s distractions are these 8 Sewing Projects that were linked up over the last several {wow me} wednesday parties. Sewing is one of those things I wish I was better at! Maybe I should try one of these projects soon. :)  I hope you enjoy these sewing projects as much as I did! Check them all out below. :)

Bunny Knot Headband with Cricut Rotary Blade {tutorial}

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

Good morning! Last week I told you all about the Cricut Rotary Blade™. You can see that post right here. The ah-mazing rotary blade brings customizable, precision fabric cutting to your home for the very first time. The blade glides and rolls, & this blade can turn within a quarter of an inch to cut through TONS of fabrics. Cutting fabric with the Cricut Maker is so, so easy! In the past I’ve used this blade to cut felt and with other no sew projects, but I was ready to tackle my FIRST sewing project with my Maker.
