Top 10 Craft Projects

December 29, 2015 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 4 Comments

Craft CollageWe certainly had a busy year in 2015 but plan to be back here in 2016 with lots more sewing, craft, and baking projects to share. It is hard to believe that this will be our 9th year here at A Spoonful of Sugar – it has certainly gone fast! Thanks for the lovely feedback on our Top 10 Sewing Tutorials from 2015, and all the interest you have shown in my book – A Spoonful of Sugar: Sew 20 Simple Projects to Sweeten Your Surroundings Zakka Style (available for pre-order from Amazon and Book Depository).

Following on from our Top 10 Sewing Tutorials of 2015, we have now put together our top 10 crafty projects from the year. Although sewing is our first love, we also love to dabble in a wide range of crafts. In this round-up you will find a mix of craft projects including: crochet, DIY, vinyl, gift wrapping, and origami. It is always fun to reflect back on all the posts we have done over the year. Most of these projects can be easily completed in a hour or so, and many are suitable for kids.

Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a piece of fabric they're a little afraid to cut into.

You know the one.

The fabric that's too pretty, too special, or waiting for the perfect project.

I've certainly been guilty of saving beautiful Liberty fabrics for "someday". But over the years I've realised something:

The joy isn't in owning the fabric.

The joy is in turning it into something you'll use, display, gift, or enjoy every day.

Some of my favourite sewing projects began with a Liberty fabric I was hesitant to cut into. Looking back, I've never regretted using it. The only fabrics I've regretted are the ones that sat folded away for years waiting for the perfect moment.

Beautiful fabric deserves to become something beautiful.

✨ What's a fabric you've been saving for a special project?

This Mini Drawstring Bag is perfect for Halloween treats, small gifts, sewing notions, or party favours. The roomy base helps it stand upright, while the drawstring closure keeps everything tucked safely

Best of all, it's a fantastic scrap-busting project. You'll only need four layer cake squares and a length of cord, and most sewists can finish one in under an hour.

I stitched this spooky version using Halloween prints, but the pattern works beautifully for Christmas, birthdays, Easter gifts, and everyday storage too.
