10 Easy Beginner Sewing Projects That You Can Make And Sell Today

Sewing can be a very lucrative hobby. There are tons of sewing crafts that you can easily make and sell online. And if you’re only just starting sewing as a hobby, don’t worry, there are also great beginner sewing projects that you can try your hand at!

When you’re new to sewing, it can be a bit intimidating. You might not really know where to start or what project to try first. And with so many options, it can start feeling a little overwhelming.

Easy Beginner Sewing Projects

If you’ve wanted to try your hand at sewing but had no idea where to start (like me), the internet can be a lifesaver. That’s why I’ve rounded up some of my favorite beginner sewing projects that you can try today.

I’ve picked them all based on how easy they are to make and how detailed the instructions are. And of course, I only considered projects that I found useful or cute.

Make them and sell them online, keep them for yourself or give them away as gifts, whatever you want to do with them! Either way, you’ll have some fun and get to practice your sewing skills.

I made a case similar to this one but for my Kindle. I was looking for a case but everything seemed so overpriced, that I eventually ended up making one myself.

This one is really easy to make, and you don’t have to stick to making it for an iPad. Make one for your laptop, iPad, phone, Kindle and whatever else you want!

Found from Oh So Lovely Vintage

15 Bullet Journal Weekly Spread And Layout Ideas To Organize Your Entire Week

I don’t know about you, but I love to experiment with different layouts and weekly spreads in my bujo. But I’m not that great yet at coming up with my own bullet journal weekly spread ideas (no shame in that!), so I always end up looking for inspiration on Pinterest.

Note: This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission – at no extra cost to you – if you purchase something through one of my links. Please see my full affiliate disclaimer here.

15 Creative Bullet Journal Weekly Spread Layouts

Some of you probably prefer to keep things the same to create a cohesive look in your bujo, but I like trying something different every now and then. So I’ve rounded up some great bullet journal weekly spread ideas to try.

So whether you’re just starting out with your bujo or you’re already a bujo junky, these bullet journal weekly spreads are sure to give you some inspiration for your bujo!

Thought I’d start out with this minimalist weekly spread that is also easy to do. Your weekly spread doesn’t always have to be difficult and elaborate, sometimes all you need is a simple design.

1

This is another cute but simple design that is easy to do and that looks a bit more creative. You also get some extra space for reminders and to-do lists, which is always useful!

2

This weekly spread is simple and elegant with the cherry blossom on top.

A small monthly calendar in the top right corner also makes it really easy to see at a glance which week in the month the current spread falls into. I think it’s a really nice idea!

3

Love this minimalist spread with the days lined up in circles.

Depending on how small you go, you can easily get your weekly layout done on a single page.

4

If you want to try something different that’s bold and striking, what about this honeycomb design?

To achieve this look, I’d suggest that you first plan out your hexagons so that they are all the same size and all fit across the page.

You could of course also just start out one side and make varying sizes to fit them all in, it would also look cute!

5

How cute is this colorful cactus spread?!

I’ll admit that I haven’t actually used washi tape in my bullet journals before, but I think it’s a really great idea.

If you’re not very artistic (I can’t draw you guys!), using washi tape can add that pop of color and creative touch to your bujo!

6

This palm tree weekly bujo spread is simple, clean and effective.

And it’s perfect for summer!

7

If you’re a comic book lover, you’ll probably love this bullet journal weekly spread that reminds you of a comic book.

The comic book layout has just the right balance of comic book elements while still having enough space for you to jot down your daily tasks.

8

Another simple but elegant design achieved by using golden washi tape as dividers.

9

With some blue watercolor, cursive script and some dots, you can create these lovely headers for your bullet journal.

Reminds me of the ocean and summer!

10

If you love wreaths, you will probably love this weekly spread with wreath-like borders for the days.

The spread also looks fun but still looks clean and organized, which I love!

11

This one is for plant lovers or cactus lovers. I think it looks super cute to decorate your borders with these plant doodles.

You could, of course, do this sort of layout with any type of doodle, bees, rainbows, whatever you like!

12

Love this black and white minimalist weekly bullet journal spread.

It’s simple and clean and easy enough for anyone to recreate.

13

Another plant inspired weekly bullet journal layout.

The design is simple enough for anyone to copy, just add your day blocks and then you can add your own custom doodles!

14

Thought this weekly bullet journal spread would be cute for a snowy week, or even for days leading up to Christmas. It just gives off a festive kind of vibe.
