You'll see, in no time at all you'll master the new challenge with ease! By the way, our sewing lexicon can help you with this. Sometimes, sewing jargon is almost as confusing as technical slang! ;)
"Boxy Bag" Cosmetic Bag
Is it the simplest cosmetic bag ever? Or just the fastest?
Either way: Even beginners can easily manage my ingenious Boxy Bag! If you listen around our Facebook sewing group, the Boxy Bag is often the first cosmetic bag that sewing beginners dare to tackle. And sometimes they just stick with it. By the way, there is also a sewing video for the Boxy Bag.
Because it is not only very easy to sew - it is also really pretty!
Owl Bag
A practical and extremely spacious bag that is easy for beginners to make! The pattern is one of my very early ones, by the way - it was still drawn by hand.
You can simply sew it as your first sewing project without the owl. Or, if you are feeling more confident and want to give the bag a funny twist, you can appliqué the owl from fabric scraps onto the fabric using a simple zigzag stitch. And you will be as proud as punch afterwards, want to bet? ;)

Accordion Bag
With my tutorial, even sewing beginners can easily sew an ingenious accordion bag! Sometimes this type of bag is called an accordion pouch. The idea is the same: a really practical bag concept!
For beginners who want to familiarize themselves with sewing on bias tape. :)
Sleep Mask
The sewing project for your beauty sleep. Here you can get your first experience with bias tape & Co. And because the sleep mask is so small, you don't even need much fabric for it! Here you can find more projects that are great for using up fabric scraps.
In this way, you practice sewing curves - and quite incidentally conjure up a pretty gift for your best friend! Simple, practical, chic.
Big Boxy Bag
The Big Boxy Bag is the Mercedes among cosmetic bags. And just as easy to sew as the small version that I introduced to you earlier.
The highlight is the base made of cork fabric*!
With this sewing technique, you don't even have to be afraid of the zipper - you can sew it in very easily!
The cute pouch, which is also suitable for a toothbrush, eyeliner & Co, is also a super simple sewing project for beginners!
Reading Bone
Our dreamily beautiful reading bone has four sides - one more beautiful than the other! It is not only great fun to sew the cute neck pillow – it is definitely a great gift for young and old!
Very clever: You can enlarge or shrink the pattern as you wish. In this way, you get the reading bone in exactly the size you need.
Taco Bag
Almost a legend. Because it is not only beautiful but also absolutely beginner-friendly. If you are interested in simple things to sew as a beginner, this bag is just right for you.
With the taco bag, you sew the zipper around the curve. But that is no problem either. And quite incidentally, you will also learn to quilt fabrics. Nice when you can do it, right? ;)
Sewing a Pacifier Strap
Something sweet for little ones. And with the necessary bits and pieces, sewn very quickly. You only need fabric strips, clips and silicone rings - then sewing is a matter of minutes!
Neckerchief for Children
After all that straight sewing, how about something curvy now? Maybe my neckerchief for children is just right for you. You can sew it turned with a turning opening - a new challenge! Or you can sew it finished with bias tape*. You already know that from the taco bag.
Both are really easy to sew - and the result speaks for itself, I think!
Pyramid Pouch
Whether as a funky cosmetic bag, practical utility pouch or pacifier pouch - the pyramid pouch is amazing! So easy to sew and looks sooo great!
Dare to conjure up your own pyramid!

Embellishing Dish Towels
And while you're at it making over your kitchen: why not give your boring dish towels a facelift! With a piece of fabric and some bias tape, you can turn them into a true feast for the eyes! Almost too pretty to use for drying. But only almost! A really simple, but all the more beautiful sewing thing for beginners.
Log Cabin Pot Holders
If you have already collected a few fabric scraps and now want to dare to try a new challenge, Log Cabin pot holders are a great thing. They are sewn using the quilt-as-you-go technique. You quilt and sew in one step.
That saves time and looks phenomenally good. Clear case: This is how beginners can easily sew beautiful pot holders without any problems.
