5 Simple DIY Sewing Projects to Spruce Up Your Home

Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are great for the kitchen, bathroom, and even the bedroom. However, they work best in kitchens for a clean yet elegant look. This type of window blind is straightforward to create, and making your own means that you can select colors, patterns, and shades that work best for your existing interiors and decor. Be sure to find a suitable pattern online and measure correctly before getting started. The key to making roman blinds is accuracy, so be sure to sew straight lines and measure the fabric accurately before you start snipping.

Scatter Cushions

Scatter cushions are practically effortless to create, even if you have never used a sewing machine before. All it takes is two squares of fabric, a zip, and enough stuffing. You can let your creativity flow when selecting materials of different patterns and textures or experiment with different shapes and sizes. You could also consider making scatter cushions that you can then print, paint or embroider with unique imagery to compliment your home’s interior theme.

Table Runners

Table runners can make a massive difference to a coffee table or dining room table. What’s more, you can get creative by adding tassels, elegant edgings, and using textured materials. You can also create reversible table runners with ease as they are exceptionally easy to make. However, it will be worth your while to have a look at a few patterns to get the sizing right. Straight stitching is vital yet again, so be sure to take your time when sewing the seams together to make a table runner that resembles a unique store-bought find.

Pouf Ottomans

There’s no denying that the price of pouf ottomans in stores is simply astronomical, especially when considering the small amount of workmanship that goes into creating one. Instead of paying the high costs of these home comfort extras, you could consider making your own ottoman. It is best to use a pattern to ensure your dimensions are correct. All you will need is some upholstery fabric or similarly heavy-duty material, a zip, and stuffing suitable for an ottoman.

Duvet Covers

Duvet covers are pretty pricey, and making your own means that you can splurge a bit more on the quality of fabric and enjoy a peaceful night’s rest for a fraction of the cost of high-quality store-bought bedding. Because a duvet cover is basically two large pieces of material mended together and sealed with studs or buttons, making your own won’t require too much knowledge. However, the measurements are essential to a perfect fit, so be sure to measure correctly according to a pattern for your bed size.
