Fall In Love with Your Kitchen Again: 50 Free Sewing Patterns

I may not be a natural in the kitchen, but I’m absolutely passionate about sewing beautiful things! To start creating your own kitchen charm, you’ll find patterns here for everything from a great KitchenAid cover to cute aprons and more free sewing projects. My goal is to give you a go-to guide for making useful and beautiful handmade accessories that will add a truly personal touch to any kitchen space.

If you would rather be sewing than cooking, you’re sure to find something you love here. With patterns for everything from adorable potholders and cozy oven mitts to handy aprons and stylish tea towels, there’s a project to fit every kitchen style and need. Let’s get started!

One Yard Apron

Perfect for beginners, the One Yard Magic Apron tutorial comes with a pattern template. It has drawstring ties and a pocket.

Candygram Mini Quilt

Here’s mini quilt of a different shape designed by Heidi over at Fabric Mutt. It reminds me of a doll’s table runner, but would hold coffee mugs or cream and sugar just as beautifully.

Bowl Cozy

Everyone needs a soup bowl cozy to keep hot bowls from the microwave from burning their fingers! My kids eat ramen noodles daily and always use a cozy soup bowl, so I like having lots on hand. You can also use it to keep the cold from your ice cream in the bowl.

Folded Fabric Coasters

Sew up some cute folded fabric coasters to protect your furniture and use up fabric scraps. This project is perfectly suited to beginners.

Fat Quarter Friendly Tea Towels

Tea towels made with fat quarters can be embellished with hand or machine stitching. These are something that I feel good about using up and renewing from time to time.

Cotton Flannel Tea Towel

Flannel is so soft and absorbent, two important characteristics for a towel! Learn how to make fast and easy tea towels in this easy tutorial from Orange Bettie. You can make two generously sized towels with a yard of fabric.

Simple 30-Minute Hot Pad

Use squares of fabric and insulated batting to make a super easy 30-Minute Hot Pad. This tutorial is perfect for beginners because it’s so straightforward and simple.

Stay Put Dish Towels

These DIY embellished towels were sewn from inexpensive bar towels, plus 1/4 yard of fabric each. You’ll love how easy they are to sew, and how nicely they coordinate with your other kitchen accessories.

Hanging Wall Organizer

Is mail taking over your kitchen? Do you need a central spot for keys and other important items? Sew a DIY hang-up organizer to help contain the clutter. A bonus is that this pattern uses just one yard of fabric! This easy-to-make organizer has five pockets to help you keep everything right where you need it. A large eyelet is installed at the top, so you can hang it anywhere with a simple command hook.

Mini Oven Mitts

This easy-to-make oven mitt pattern uses cotton fabric and insulated batting to make oven mitts that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Junk in the Trunk Chair Cushion

This chair cushion looks so comfortable. Sew some up for your kitchen chairs for a nice place to sit after a long day.

Reusable Shopping Bag

Here is another tutorial for a grocery bag. This style stands up on its own. Try this pattern out, and consider using pet food bags as the material! It’s super durable, and just garbage otherwise.

Reusable Produce Bags

Here’s another variation of reusable produce bag by the Zero-Waste Chef. It’s worth a look!

Caravan Toaster Cover

This appliance cover is perfect for your toaster. It’s cute caravan design makes me smile!

Fabric Roll Warmer

Here’s a smart interpretation of the roll holder above. This bread warmer napkin is a simpler design, but a great way to keep your baskets (and bread) clean and warm.

Reusable Snack Bags

This pattern for reusable bags is slightly different in that it fully closes. Check it out to see if it’s right for you!

Fabric Bowl Covers

Ditch your plastic wrap and opt for fabric bowl covers instead. Fabric bowl covers are a cute way to store leftovers in your fridge or to bring a dish to picnics. Just stretch the cover over and reuse it again and again!
