I post sewing and crafting tutorials here at the Mermaid’s Den. I love making things and sharing them with you, so you can make them, too.

In this post, I'll go over sixteen easy holiday gifts to sew, each with a free pattern and tutorial. All of these patterns can be sewn up quickly!
In this post, I'll walk you through the process of creating a plus size circle skirt using a vintage fabric panel and a waistband from an old pair of leggings.
This post contains a free sewing pattern and tutorial to show you how to make a felt flower pincushion using some of the fancy stitches on your machine.
This post will cover five different sewing patterns for tote bags. All of the sewing patterns are free and include step-by-step tutorials.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a kindle cover out of a book. It has a fabric interior, straps for holding your kindle, and a pocket.
In this post, I'm going to show you how to make an easy stuffed ball toy for your dog. My dogs love these because they bounce and roll when you throw them.
In this post, I'll show you how to make a tote bag using a jelly roll and black bias tape, which gives it a cool stained glass effect. You'll create the lining while you're sewing the outside of the bag, so it's all done at the same time.
In this post, I'll show you how to attach a button using your sewing machine. It's not difficult to sew on a button by hand, but it's much quicker (and more secure) to attach it with your sewing machine instead!
Make this easy beginner pattern from Simplicity in one hour with two yards of fabric or less. The nice thing about it is that even if you're making the biggest size (size 24), it only takes two yards of fabric. Many skirts take 4-5 yards, which can get expensive, so it's nice to see a skirt that can be made relatively cheaply. Note that the one hour time estimate does not include cutting out the fabric.
In this post I'll show you how to use an overlock foot on your sewing machine to mimic a serger.
Make this silk infinity scarf with my step-by-step, free sewing tutorial. It's super easy to make, and it's really budget-friendly!
