The most popular sewing posts of 2018 at AppleGreen Cottage are here!
These are the free patterns, tutorials, and sewing projects readers visited most this year. Take a look - you might find a favorite you missed, or a quick project to sew next (like this bucket hat!)
First, for those of you who like video tutorials, I've made a video slide-show to get the feeling of what was top stuff here in 2018:
1) Neck Warmer Pattern
I'm starting with the absolute winner of 2018:
This popular sewing tutorial has just skyrocketed this fall! Probably because it's so easy that it's doable even if one knows how to sew a straight stitch? Or because it only takes half an hour to make? I like both reasons! Grab the NEW free 3-size template in PDF format.
2) Bucket Hat Tutorial - Simplified to Beginner Level
I've made a lot of bucket hats in my sewing history. And while sewing and learning, found a simplification in the sewing process that made the project even easier. Why not share the little workaround with my readers? So I made a beginner-friendly tutorial - grab the free bucket hat pattern in 5 sizes!
3) Free Fabric Hanging Basket Pattern
This cute little basket is one of the things you've sewn most this year. I love seeing your images, and if you'd like to be featured in Applegreen Cottage newsletter, contact me, send me a message, tag me on IG or FB- I might post your image and send some people your way - win-win!
