May 08, 2025

Fabric is one of the most versatile and fun materials to work with when it comes to DIY crafting.

Easy Mug Rugs for Daily Use

Mug rugs are one of the easiest and most practical beginner sewing projects. These mini placemats protect your surfaces while adding a splash of personality to your coffee or tea time. Start with Lisa’s pre-sized patterns and some scrap fabric in fun prints. Choose coordinating threads and add a bit of batting for structure. You’ll finish with a beautiful handmade item perfect for gifts or personal use.

Mini Quilts to Display

Mini quilts are perfect for showcasing your fabric choices and patchwork skills. They’re smaller than traditional quilts, making them ideal for wall art, table centerpieces, or gifts. Lisa’s collection includes digital patterns for floral-themed mini quilts that suit all seasons. Explore ideas using her tulips, cone flowers, and daisies applique patterns to create a springtime-inspired masterpiece.

Add Personality with Patches

Applique patches are a fantastic way to personalize bags, jackets, pillows, and quilts. One standout is Lisa’s “Lavender in Bucket 5” Patch. It adds a touch of rustic charm and can be sewn or fused onto your favorite base item. These small designs are easy to work with and can dramatically elevate your projects.
