Christmas pajama pants are probably the most common tradition, don’t you think? If you are lucky enough to have people to sew for, make them some P.J. Pants for Christmas this year! The free pattern that I used is super fast to sew so it can even be a very last minute gift.
Like many of you (I imagine) I spent a lot of time this week finishing up last minute presents. One of which was these p.j. pants for my 7 year old Cadie. These were sewn from my free P.J. Bottoms and Shorts Pattern.
I put a cute little mis-matchy bow on the front so she could put them on right. Does that mushroom ribbon go with the flannel fabric on the pants? I can’t tell, but since both are cute I know she’ll like them anyway.
For the pant cuffs I used soft fleece. They are so snuggly!
Christmas p.j.’s are one of our family traditions, as well as secret santa and a Christmas Eve trip to the beach. What else are you going to do when you have 80 degree weather but wish there was snow?
So, what have you been sewing up this week? Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.
Sew an organizer covered with pockets that you can hang in your closet! This easy sewing project is great for organizing sewing and craft supplies, fashion accessories, bathroom necessities, gift wrappings, and more. There are pockets on both sides plus a big interior pocket so every bit of space is used. I’ll show you easy step by step instructions for sewing this organizer and putting it to use in your home. Get sew organized today.
Are you sewing a Closet Organizer with me? I hope so! This is Part 2 of our free sewing tutorial for an amazing organizer with a coat hanger inside so you can hang it anywhere.
If you are getting started, make sure you start at Part 1 of the free pattern.
Be a basketmaker! Sure, you can sew, but did you know that you can make amazing baskets too using your sewing machine, some fabric and the same materials that you use for your other projects?
Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!
Sew an easy beautiful apron with this free sewing pattern that only uses one yard of fabric! Whether you are sewing for yourself or for a friend, an apron always comes in handy and makes a great gift. This blog post includes a link to a free template that I digitized for you.

I have acrylic tables for all of my sewing machines (and my serger) and I love them. They are so easy to use – and easy to remove if you need to use the free arm.
Christmas came early for me this year in the form of this lovely little machine that I have grown to adore. The Simplicity 12 Needle Deluxe Felting Machine does a lot of the same things that you can do with hand-felting, but at an amazing speed. Since I am a girl who can’t get enough applique work, this machine is right up my alley and I have been having so much fun.
Lark Crafts offered me Megan Hunt’s new book to review last month and I must admit at first I thought I would be too busy so I almost said no, but I’m so glad I didn’t!
Sewing with felt is so fun and easy – I’m in love with these darling felt cactus plants. You don’t need to worry about water or sun and they’ll never die. It’s a free sewing pattern too! Bring a fun…
I have another great tip for you to help make your face masks more effective.
After I shared with you my quick method for sewing fabric face masks, many of you asked me how I was using pipe cleaners to make my face masks fit the face better.
Well, Sarah and I have arrived in Houston for our quilt market adventure. We don’t have any market news to share yet, because we’re just hanging out in our hotel room, but I wanted to share with you the sweet…
