May Subscription Box Project Inspiration
So you've got your Sew Obsessed box for May, but what are you gonna make with it? This special sewing themed collection deserves a special project, and we've been on the hunt for the best. Don't miss not one, but FOUR free projects from Makower using this very collection too!
May Subscription Box Project Inspiration
Jazz up your machine with this absolutely stunning machine cover, designed by Lynne Goldsworth for Makower. It uses your fabrics for this month so it's a great starter project if you've just joined up and got your first box - add in your own fabrics if you need extra, or get some more of this collection to make it up as the photo shows. Best of all, this project is totally free - download the instructions and templates below!

Use up every last scrap with this selvedge project! Cut off the selvedges and appliqué them into this pretty spool design for a sweet little block that could easily be made into a cushion or quilt. Also great for small strips of fabric that you might have left over!

Or stitch up a special card for a sewing friend - another great way to stash-bust those scraps, and you can practice your free motion technique too!

Make something useful from your fat quarters and have a go at this thread catcher and pin cushion tidy. It's a great little make to have beside your machine, especially as those loose threads and scraps seem to get all over the floor so easily!
