Free Halloween Treat Bag Patterns
If a project includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include a
pattern template, don’t despair! It likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and rectangles)
that you can easily measure and cut yourself.

Note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine. But don’t let that
discourage you! If a project you like calls for, say, complex embroidery stitches and you have just a
simple zigzag machine, you can try experimenting with a satin stitch, hand-embroidering a design, or
adding purchased embellishments instead.

Sewing Quick Tips:

Interfacing tips:

Storing Fusible Interfacing: If possible, store fusible interfacing rolled instead of folded. Storing
your fusible interfacing folded can cause creases you won’t be able to press out later without
melting the adhesive.

Try a Non-fusible Interfacing: Fusible interfacings are fast and easy to use but they also tend
to stiffen fabric, producing a look and feel you may not want. So consider using a non-fusible
interfacing sometimes. Non-fusible interfacing can be a bit more time consuming to apply, but
it will be worth it to get the softer feel you'll sometimes want for your garment piece.

Sewing Quick Tip:

When sewing a
dart, don’t
backstitch to
secure the thread
ends, which can
cause your fabric
to pucker. Instead,
start stitching at
the top of the dart,
continue to sew
right off your fabric
without
backstitching, then
tie off and knot the
loose thread ends.
Sewing Quick Tip:

Some fabrics,
particularly natural
fibers, can shrink
just from the heat
and moisture of an
iron. Therefore, it’s
important to
preshrink some
dry-clean only
fabrics too, even
though you won’t
be laundering
them.
