Sew a Softie in July 2022

A month of free sewing patterns kids will love

It’s August already, which means that Sew a Softie in July is over for another year and more importantly, it means that 65 new and absolutely free softie sewing projects have joined the Sew a Softie family of sewing tutorialsyay!!!…and it means that hundreds and hundreds of kids around the world have experienced the fun and thrill of learning to sew a sweet little softie all by themselves…yay again!!!

I like to think of all those kids putting down their screens…at least for a while 🙂 and realizing that they can do something they never imagined they could do!

The Best Sewing Supplies to Start Sewing with Kids

Not sure what sewing supplies you need to sew with your kids or students?

Well, this video will help!

Softie Magic Around the World

Christine Turner in Texas, sewed jellyfish softies with kids at her local library. She told me, “At the beginning of the program kids kept saying they couldn’t do it but by the end they were so proud of their completed projects”

Joel and a friend in Utah decided to sew a Sonic the Hedgehog softie for another friends birthday.

Students of Sandra Damoulakis in Melbourne, Australia created heart softies inspired by the work of Chris Uphues.

In Madison, Winsconsin, Jennifer Van Wyk and her co-teacher friend Emily run a neighbourhood kids club once a week. For Sew a Softie in July their students learned to sew a pizza softie and customized it by adding their own toppings 🙂

And in Florida 12 year old sewing wizz London taught Dallana how to sew a softie

The 2022 Softie Tutorial Line-up

This years theme was Make Softie Magic Happen and it happened!

Below are some of the magical softie patterns that appeared. If you follow the #sewasoftie hashtag on instagram you’ll find lots more.

There are fairy softies, unicorn softies, magic wand softies, some dragons and all kinds of surprising patterns that parents, teachers and of course, our kids will love to make.

OK, I’m signing off now with a BIG thank you to everyone for their softie creations. It may sound a strange thing to say, but looking at everyone’s contributions, I really do think that softies make the world a saner safer happier place to live in.

And I know sewing does!
