Easy Easter Sewing Projects for a More Fun Holiday

One way to build beautiful memories during Easter, holidays, or spring break is to work on sewing projects. While not all people would be keen to touch the needle (or be allowed to, because they're kids), the decorating, gifting, or stuffing parts are creative or no-brainer tasks they might be willing to take on.

Open up the idea to them. Who knows? Sewing projects might just be an undiscovered talent or hobby waiting for them.

If it helps, show them the Easter projects we have listed below—the photos and tutorials are just too inviting to resist.

Easy Easter Sewing Projects for a More Fun Holiday

1. Easter Fabric Bin

You don't have to literally turn this Easter sewing project into a paper trash bin. It's too pretty for that after all. You can use it as a container for your sewing tools, yarns, and knitting needles.

2. Bunny Purse

I love purses because they are handy and they're able to match different outfits. This bunny purse fits the bill!

Achieve this classic purse by using gray linen fabric and fusible interfacing for reinforcement.

3. Chick Accessory Pouch

This Easter chick accessory pouch is a cute gift idea for little girls and women. Include some hairpins, a brooch, or some badges to give your recipient creative ideas on how she can make use of your gift.

4. Felt Carrot Pencil Holder

Top-stitching is the easiest way to put templates together. For the fancy stitches around the carrot leaves, you may do stitch 17 if you have the Babylock Rachel machine.

5. Bunny Bandana

A baby's bandana makes both a cute costume article and an adorable fashion piece. Double its appeal by adding bunny ears, and you'd be snapping a lot of photos of your little one once he/she puts it on.

6. Bunny Hooded Towel

Babies and bunnies are cute on their own. Put them together and you have the cutest combination ever!

Achieve the funny bunny face with white and black fabric. Add the white and pink fluffy bunny ears towels and applique stitch them.

7. Bunny Shoe Cover

Love keeping the house clean? Stitch these washable shoe covers!

They protect both your footwear and floor from getting dirty. These are best used in the laundry area or when vacuuming carpets or carpet floors.

8. Carrot Pillow

Cuddle up with a giant, fluffy version of carrots at night!

Create your own by layering two pieces of 5″ x 12″ orange felt. Then, use a zigzag stitch to attach the orange fabric strips across the orange felt.

9. Easter Crayon Zipper Bag

This is another Easter gift idea you can add to your sewing projects. It's a pouch that can function as whatever you want it to be—a card or bill purse, a crayon pouch, a makeup kit, a phone pouch, and many more!

10. Bunny Tote Bag

Create your own simple and chic bunny tote bag by sewing the bunny face using embroidery thread and needle. Don't forget to cut fusible interfacing larger than the bunny face area to keep the face firm.

11. Easter Egg Ecobag

These days, an ecobag is a must-carry wherever you go, but most especially when you're buying groceries. This small Easter pouch is one you can use to bag fruits, eggs, loaf bread, or vegetables.

Tip: You can stitch a larger one for big-ticket items.

12. Bunny Spring Linens

With pale pink and gray as a surprisingly great color scheme, this will add a touch of spring in your kitchen.

Trace the bunny's silhouette on the wrong side of the fabric and cut it out. Press and sew it on the right side of the linen.

13. Snap-on Jumper for Toddler

Here's another one for your little one or another's. This adorable snap-on jumper is like a utility suit that allows you to change diapers without having to take everything off.

14. Bunny Hand Puppets

Creativity is encouraged in our household, so these bunny hand puppets were an instant win! To sew eight bunny hand puppets—the more, the merrier—use six 18″ pieces of wool felt.

15. Easter Sewing Project for New Moms

Here's another functional Easter sewing project for moms or moms-to-be. Using a comfortable, pastel-colored fabric, stitch a short with a garter waistband.

The very upside of this is you can sew it in any fabric color and gift it for boys and girls.

16. Bunny Treat Bag

Since there are carrot treat bags, of course, there are also bunny treat bags! The secret to these colorful treat bags is in using four 5″ square pieces of fabric for each.

In charge of preparing the eggs for the Easter egg hunt? Try something different with these fabric Easter eggs; create the egg's shape by using fiberfill or nature fill.

20. Quilted Carrot Table Runner

Subtly entice your children into warming up to vegetables with this carrot table runner. Use at least seven assorted orange-hued fabric to have more depth in your table runner.

21. Easter Egg Nest

There are A LOT of eggs during Easter, and it's boring to just stack them up. Plating is always key when decorating the kitchen table.

Stitch an egg nest with pockets on the side. You can leave the center empty for more egg room or an egg tart.
