January usually gives us a spurt of energy to try new things! But trying new hobbies can be expensive, especially if you decide that a new hobby is not a good fit after your purchased all of the necessary tools and supplies.
Our Library of Things collection is a great way to explore something new without the extra cost. One of the new things you can try is sewing. Sewing can be a fun and practical hobby. Mend clothes to give them a longer life, sew up personal gifts for special occasions, or decorate your house with handmade items easily with the Singer Sewing Machine. The machine comes with basic supplies so all you need to provide is your own thread and fabric.
We also have lots of books about sewing for all ages! Here are a few:
The Complete Photo Guide to Sewing is a great book to help kids get started with hand and machine sewing.
Superhero Sewing includes many fun costume projects to make with a child.
Sewing in No Time is full of projects that can be made in a weekend and covers all of the basic techniques.
Fabric can be expensive! Half Yard Gifts will help you make lots of small projects with smaller amounts of fabric.
Check out the full list of sewing books here and you will see that sewing is “sew easy”!
