Sewing Projects For the Kitchen
Now back to the easy and free patterns for the kitchen! These sewing ideas for kitchen make super handy DIY gifts for friends, for housewarming parties, and for your own home decoration.
Follow a few of these simple tutorials and grab a few of my free patterns to give your kitchen a makeover on a budget. You'll see that a lot of these sewing ideas are inexpensive scrap busters (napkins, patchwork, coasters), but very handy for your household (think your own handmade kitchen potholders, grocery bag holders, aprons, or you can even turn this easy tote into a beautiful kitchen storage item!) Some of them are so cute I could simply not resist them - and trust me, you won't be able to, either!
A note on fabric: it's worth planning ahead and getting a bit more fabric if you want to sew matching kitchen items, or, say dining table decor. I've seen amazing settings achieved just by sewing a matching table runner (check out these free table runner patterns!) to the placemats, or dining chair covers. Just sayin'.
Get ready for handy and cute! Let's start with some of my favorite projects:

Hi Damjana,
I love your Easy Stylish Placemats!. I have been wanting to try making placemats & your tutorial is excellent! I learned about clipping corners a few years ago. Once I realized the corner seam allowances had to fit 'inside' the corner, cutting just the diagonal left too much seam allowance to fit in the corner.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful patterns you share with us!
