Pattern favourites: quick and easy sewing patterns

---

In our dreams we would have all the time in the world to sew and make ourselves a completely handmade wardrobe. It would look fabulous with the most amazing pieces that all looked like they were made by fashion designers. In reality we are happy with any time that we get to spend behind our sewing machine! Sometimes that means only an hour per week or less.

Quick and easy sewing patterns are perfect if you only have a few minutes per sewing session and you want to have a new garment pretty quickly or if you only have one afternoon and you want something new to wear the next day. We’ve picked some fantastic patterns that are quick and easy to sew, and not to forget; easy to fit!
