1) How To Make A Fleece Neck Warmer

best sewing tutorials and free patterns at AppleGreen Cottage

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!

This free tutorial was my first really popular pattern ever on AppleGreen Cottage, and I am still emotionally attached to it. I have even kept the blue striped bandana bib as (blogging) keepsake, the very one from this picture!

6) How To Sew A Soft Ball – FREE TEMPLATE

One of my best performing and most popular tutorials of all time, even after years! A while ago, I added a new free PDF sewing template to this tutorial, too. So feel free to use it if you’d like to make a soft baby ball like this one.

7) Bucket Hat Tutorial – Simplified to Beginner Level

I love Oliver + S. They make amazing patterns! Some time at the start of my blogging venture, I bumped into this free pattern of theirs. It fits perfectly. The rim is just the right size to protect from the sun yet not obstruct the view. And it does not keep falling off like other kid-sized hats.

I made a few extra and while sewing, realized I had used a shortcut, a simplification in the sewing process that made the project even easier. Why not share the little workaround to my readers? So I made the beginner-friendly tutorial. The result is the same as if you follow the original instructions. Why not make things easier, right?

8) My Best DIY Earwarmer Headband For Kids

9) How To Start Hand Stitching Without A Knot

No more annoying knots on your handstitching!Love love love this little trick, and so did you! Take a look at the how-to here.

10) Mini Pouch – FREE Pattern

It’s an easy sew pattern for beginners that only requires scrap fabric. One of my favorite projects! So cute, and easy to make – these must be the two main reasons this free pattern got so popular.

I’m sure you’ll find a lot of useful and fun stuff at AppleGreen Cottage, and there are many more patterns to come in 2019. Thanks SO MUCH for your support all these years. Nothing would be the same without you. Happy 2019, fellow crafters, and here’s to new fun projects!
