Winter, spring, summer, and fall quilting and sewing projects are all right here.
Happy New Year’s Eve, sewists! The new year is the perfect time to start on a new quilting project. For one thing, there’s always the excitement of a fresh start that motivates us to try new things and set new goals for ourselves. For another, when it’s so cold outside, there’s nothing quite like staying […]
Although winter definitely has its downsides—hello, snow-shoveling and icy roads—the truth is that I usually spend the rest of the year thinking about how much I love all of the cute accessories that come along with it. You can’t exactly wear a hat and scarf in the middle of July (unless you’re willing to get […]
One of the wonderful things about Christmas is that so many people around the world have been celebrating it with their families for generations. This results in fun traditions that maybe we don’t always know the source of, but we do them every year, regardless. I love listening to stories of how the older generation […]

That’s why AllFreeSewing […]

It’s too cold for outdoor activities, and I don’t know about you, but when it gets dark this early I’m usually too tired to do anything too physical anyway. If you’re brainstorming some ideas for new winter sewing projects […]
