πŸ› SIMPLE SEWING – 5 BUDGET SEWING HACKS FROM THE DOLLAR STORE πŸ’°

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up forΒ my email newsletterΒ for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news!Β Tour my sewing room HERE!

Let’s sew! These sewing projects are made with items from the Dollar Tree! These 5 Dollar Tree Sewing Projects are inexpensive and so useful!

πŸ› SIMPLE SEWING - 5 BUDGET SEWING HACKS FROM THE DOLLAR STORE πŸ’°

I love shopping at the Dollar Tree for sewing supply hacks but this post is all about projects you can make with things you find there!

πŸ› SIMPLE SEWING - 5 BUDGET SEWING HACKS FROM THE DOLLAR STORE πŸ’°

Dollar Tree Sewing Projects – Slap Bracelet Wrist Pincushion

This is a super fun project that uses slap bracelets! I loved slap bracelets as a kid and, to be honest, I still love them. They are just so fun and I mean how does it do that!?! These bracelets are a great base to a wrist pincushion because the bracelet part is thick enough to protect your wrist from pokes and it’s easy to put on.

Dollar Tree Sewing Projects

I used my own medium-weight interfacing and hot glue although I think some dollar stores have those items, too.

  • Slap Bracelets (party favor section)
  • Fat Quarter (craft aisle) or scraps
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Interfacing
  • Hot glue
  • Printable pattern, see below

This is a simple project – see the video in this post for the instructions!

Dollar Tree Sewing Projects

Applique Hand Towel

Applique hand towels are quick to make and make a fun gift! Change them out for holidays to spruce up your bathroom!

Dollar Tree Sewing Projects

The hand towel and fat quarters are available at the dollar store. I also used Heat N Bond Ultra (red bag) from the craft store. See the video in the post for the tutorial!

Dollar Tree Sewing Projects
  • Hand Towel (bath section)
  • Fat Quarter (craft section)
  • Heat N Bond
  • Printable pattern, see below

Faux Fur Pom Pom

I didn’t know the Dollar Tree carried faux fur! This is a great deal for a small piece of faux fur just the right size for little projects. There were a few colors at my store and I chose a teddy bear brown. I put mine on top of a beanie, also from the dollar store. You can also make it a keychain!

Dollar Tree Sewing Projects

You will also need stuffing which I haven’t see at the Dollar Tree plus a hand sewing needle and embroidery thread.

See the full tutorial here.

  • Faux Fur (craft section)
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Hand sewing needle
  • Embroidery floss or thick thread
  • Printable pattern, see below

Flannel Hand Warmers

This is a great project if your store has flannel! Reusable hand warmers are a great project for winter!

The flannel I found is 100% cotton which is what is needed for this project to be microwaveable. You can also heat the hand warmers up in the dryer.

See the full hand warmers tutorial here.

  • Flannel fat quarter (craft section)
  • Rice for filling (food aisle)
  • 100% cotton thread
  • Funnel (kitchen aisle)
  • Printable pattern, see below

The Dollar Tree also has rice, but you can use it from your pantry if you already have some. *Just make sure you use uncooked rice, not minute rice!

Dollar Tree Sewing Projects

Fabric covered coasters

I found these 4.5″ square wood planks and knew they would be a great way to showcase my cute flamingo fabric as coasters! All the items I used in this project are from the Dollar Tree and all on the crafts aisle.

  • Wooden blanks
  • Fat quarters
  • Mod Podge
  • Paintbrush

See the video in this post for the easy tutorial!
