Looking for your next sewing project?

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the sewing — it’s deciding what to sew next!

Over the years, I’ve created sewing patterns for practical little things you can actually use: bags, pouches, organizers, fabric baskets, accessories and plenty of scrap-friendly projects.

And while every project has its own place in the Regine Lee Creations collection, there are some that sewists seem to come back to again and again.

So I’ve gathered 15 of the most-loved Regine Lee Creations sewing projects together in one place.

Some are quick afternoon makes. Some are fantastic scrap busters. Some make beautiful handmade gifts. And others might become something you use every single day.

Whether you're a beginner looking for an achievable sewing project or an experienced sewist searching for a fun weekend make, I hope you find something here that makes you want to reach for your fabric.

Let's take a look!

1. Bum Bag

The Bum Bag has become one of the most-loved bag patterns in the Regine Lee Creations collection — and it's easy to see why.

It's practical, hands-free and perfect for carrying your everyday essentials while you're out and about. Choose a neutral fabric for an everyday look or make it in a fun print for something completely different.

It's also one of those patterns you can make again and again because changing the fabric completely changes the finished bag.

Perfect for: Everyday use • Handmade gifts • Bag making

2. Stand Up Pouch

If you love zipper pouches, the Stand Up Pouch is a fun variation to add to your sewing list.

Its structured shape allows the pouch to stand upright, making it perfect for storing and organizing all sorts of little essentials.

Use it for sewing supplies, cosmetics, stationery, travel items or anything else that needs its own little home.

Perfect for: Organization • Gifts • Zipper pouch lovers

3. Pinwheel Fabric Basket

The Pinwheel Fabric Basket is one of those projects that looks impressive but comes together from a surprisingly simple construction.

Made from eight fabric pieces, its distinctive shape creates a square base with four triangular sides. Better still, the basket is completely reversible with no exposed raw edges.

The pattern includes three sizes, so you can make one or sew an entire coordinating set.

Use them for sewing notions, jewellery, nursery essentials, keys, small household items or simply as beautiful fabric storage around your home.

Perfect for: Scrap busting • Home organization • Handmade gifts

4. AirPods Pouch

Tiny projects can sometimes be the most satisfying to sew!

The AirPods Pouch gives your earbuds their own little protective home while making them easy to keep close by.

It's small, practical and a fantastic project for using some of those fabric scraps that are simply too pretty to throw away.

Add one to your bag or keys and your AirPods are ready to go wherever you do.

Perfect for: Scrap busting • Quick sewing • Small handmade gifts

5. Scallop Edge Fabric Basket

A fabric basket — with a little extra personality.

The Scallop Edge Fabric Basket combines practical storage with a beautiful scalloped detail around the top.

With three sizes included, you can use these baskets all around your home: in the sewing room, bathroom, bedroom, nursery, craft space or anywhere small things tend to accumulate.

They're also lovely made as a matching set.

6. Bum Bag XL

Love the original Bum Bag but need a little more room?

That's where the Bum Bag XL comes in.

The larger size gives you extra space while keeping the same practical, hands-free style that makes a bum bag so useful for everyday life.

It's a great option for days when you need to carry more than just the essentials.

Perfect for: Everyday bags • Travel • Handmade accessories

7. Mini Snap Pouch

Small, simple and seriously useful.

The Mini Snap Pouch is the kind of project that makes you start looking through your scrap basket immediately.

Use it to hold coins, earbuds, jewellery, little sewing notions or any of those tiny items that always seem to disappear inside a larger bag.

And because it's such a small project, it's a great one to batch sew for gifts.

8. Wide Open Pencil Case

No more digging around at the bottom of your pencil case.

The Wide Open Pencil Case opens up generously so you can easily see and reach what's inside.

Of course, it doesn't have to be used just for pencils! It can also hold sewing tools, art supplies, makeup brushes, crochet hooks and other everyday essentials.

It's a practical zipper project you'll find plenty of uses for.

Perfect for: Stationery • Sewing supplies • Gifts

9. Water Bottle Carrier

The Water Bottle Carrier is one of those sewing projects you might not realise you need until you make one.

It lets you carry your water bottle hands-free, making it especially useful for walks, day trips, travelling or simply heading out when you don't want to carry a full-sized bag.

Choose a favourite fabric and turn an everyday essential into something handmade.

Perfect for: Walking • Travel • Everyday use

10. Baby Wipes Holder

Practical sewing projects don't get much more useful than this.

The Baby Wipes Holder keeps wipes neatly stored and easy to reach when you're on the go.

It's a thoughtful project for parents and also makes a lovely handmade baby shower gift — especially when paired with other handmade baby essentials.

11. Puffy Bow Keychain

Sometimes you just want to sew something cute.

The Puffy Bow Keychain is a fun little scrap-friendly project that can add a handmade touch to keys, bags, pouches or backpacks.

Experiment with different colours and prints and you'll quickly have a collection of completely different bows.

They're also perfect when you need a quick little handmade gift.

Give your sunglasses a handmade home with the Sunglasses Case.

Perfect for: Everyday use • Gifts • Fabric scraps

13. Sunglasses Holder Keychain

If you're forever taking your sunglasses on and off, the Sunglasses Holder Keychain gives you an easy place to keep them close.

Attach it to your bag so your sunglasses are accessible without having to search through everything inside.

It's a small project with a very practical purpose — exactly the kind of sewing project I love.

Perfect for: Bags • Everyday accessories • Quick sewing

14. Heart-Shaped Corner Bookmark

Book lovers, this one is for you.

The Heart-Shaped Corner Bookmark slips over the corner of your page and adds a sweet handmade detail to your current read.

Because it uses very little fabric, it's also a wonderful way to turn leftover scraps into something useful rather than throwing them away.

Make a few and pair them with books for an easy handmade gift idea.

Perfect for: Book lovers • Scrap busting • Teacher gifts

15. Mini Jewellery Pouch

Last — but definitely not least — is the Mini Jewellery Pouch.

This little pouch is designed to keep small jewellery pieces together, making it particularly handy for travelling or storing your everyday favourites.

Its small size also makes it another great scrap-friendly sewing project and a beautiful addition to a handmade gift.
