Easy Sewing For Your Home

Meet your instructor, Kelly, as she explains how sewing for your home helps manage depression and anxiety and turns ideas into useful, beautiful projects.

Learn to sew a beginner, washable reusable sponge for kitchen and bath using towel fabric, mesh for scrubbing, and polyfill, a simple project even kids can do.

Align towel, mesh, and decorative fabric with the scratchy mesh side facing the towel, measure and cut to six by five inches, mark with grease pencils, and prep for sewing.

Learn to sew a sponge by pinning fabric, backstitching along edges, leaving an opening for turning, turning inside out, stuffing, and crisping corners with chopsticks.

Learn to stuff a sponge for kitchen and bathroom cleaning, avoid overstuffing to prevent puffiness, and stitch the edge to create a durable, water-absorbent scrubber.

Finish the sponge by top-stitching around a padded sponge, tucking edges with pins, and shifting polyfill for a flat, washable scrubber you can fold around pan handles.

Design a zero waste reusable sponge in any shape or size you choose, using upcycled fabrics like denim sleeves, plaid scraps, or dress remnants.
