Great Choices for First-Time Projects

- Tote Bags – for school, for sports, and even for trick-or-treating.
- Alphabet Pillows – have kids sew their own initials.
- Button Bracelets – sew buttons, charms, and ribbon roses onto a piece of elastic to create a bracelet.
For Adults
- Basic Pillows – flanged square, knife-edge, Victorian roll with tied ends.
- Shell Top – done completely on a serger.
