It’s an undeniable fact: Spring is the best season of the year!
Nothing says warmer weather and sunshine like bright colours, a garden full of flowers, bees humming, pottering around in the garden, the taste of strawberries **drool**, Spring cleaning and some refreshing updates of home décor.
After cleaning through my own fabric mountain stash, I decided to go researching for some fun Spring sewing patterns to put to use some of the fabric bits and pieces that have been saved with good intentions (and long forgotten).
In this blog post you’ll see some of the favourite ideas I’ve collected as a great way of adding some colour and whimsy to your home and make sweet gift ideas for others too!
These sewing tutorials are a mix of fun décor and useful projects and all can be created fairly easily. No need to spend days labouring over these cute Spring sewing projects!

Spring sewing projects to use up your fabric stash
If you’re anything like every other typical sewing fan, you’re sure to have a collection of leftover fabric bits and pieces stashed away for “another time” or “just in case” scenarios.
Well, after a bit of Spring cleaning, those pieces might have seen the light of day again and now it’s their time to shine!
All of the sewing projects here could be made using leftover pieces of fabric you already have in your own or even by upcycling some unwanted garments you were going to donate! No need to waste time and money shopping for small amounts of fabric AND you clear out some of the fabric clutter in your home. Win-win!
Craft tutorials full of sewing ideas for Spring
