Most of us simply can’t find enough time to sew. However, sometimes when I just have to sew something, I wish I had a list of small projects that I could fit into the short time I have available.
So a few months ago, I started making a list of 1-hour sewing projects that I could squeeze into my schedule when I had only a few minutes to an hour. Because I think many readers find themselves in the same situation, I wanted to share my list with you.
We’ll be adding to this list as we come across new and interesting 1-hour sewing projects, so don’t forget to bookmark and share this list.

Pingback: FREE Simple Boat Neck Top Pattern - One Hour Project - So Sew Easy
This is a really great list! I want to say though, that I have made the vendor apron and it is absolutely not a 1 hour project. It is very involved, but well worth the time.
Hi Melissa, thanks for that feedback.
I agree! The vendor apron is definitely not a 1 hour project, but is really nice when done. I’m on my second one and plan to make several more to sell at our market.
Thank you ever so much for this incrediable list of things to make in a short amount of time. An extra thanks for the instructions to tell/show us what to do.

Thank you for sharing these!
The link to that cute three tier Indian summer dress is broken, and there seems to be no response from the blogger about fixing it or providing the pattern. Do you have this pattern?
Hi Joanne, sorry, I’m being a little slow here but which link are you referring to? I can’t find the one you’re referring to. Please let me know. Kind regards, Mayra
Inspiring! I think I will make a card wallet tonite.
This is wonderful! Thank you.
I think I can stay busy and out of trouble for a long time! What a great variety….Xmas is coming!
Enjoy your journey, do share some of your work, please. Love to see what caught your eye on this list.
Indeed….winter is coming….
