If you love decorating around the home and have never tried a sewing project, you’re missing out.  It’s the perfect culmination of two of America’s greatest hobbies for women – decorating and sewing.  Well, perhaps shopping is at the top, but you get the point.

Engaging in a sewing project is all about having fun and being creative – allowing the stress to flow out of your mind and the creative juices to take over.  Just have a great time with it.  You deserve it.  After a long busy day, everyone needs some time to unwind and do something therapeutic for the soul.  So if you’re going to do something fun, why not make it practical and create some pillows or cushions for your bedroom or sofa.

Take a look at the most recent decorating magazines, high-end catalogs, and the newest designer styles in large furnishing stores.  You’ll see that what often sets these rooms apart is the designer pillows, cushions, and truffets.  They are extremely pricey in the stores, but they don’t have to be when you buy the materials from scratch and create them yourself.  All you need is some basic fabric, trim, a needle, and some thread.  Some of the designs and projects don’t even require a sewing machine as you can do the basic sewing by hand.

Whether you are looking for a fun, colorful touch to your room in your home, or create a contemporary, modern expression to your office or bedroom, or you may be going for an elegant, traditional accent to your decor, you can be creative with it.   Sewing projects are fun!
