Spring is in full swing, and Easter is just around the corner! Whether you're planning a cosy family gathering, looking to brighten up your home, or simply want a fun excuse to get sewing again—Easter is the perfect time to bring out the pastels, florals, and soft cottons.
At Cheap Fabrics UK, we've got everything you need to stitch up some seasonal joy. Here are a few egg-stra special sewing ideas to get your creativity flowing this Easter:
🐰 1. DIY Fabric Easter Baskets
Say goodbye to plastic baskets and hello to handmade charm! Use our sturdy cotton canvas or quilting fabrics to make your own reusable Easter baskets. Personalise them with names, lace trims, or even appliqué bunnies for that extra cute factor.
Top fabric picks:
-
Polycotton prints (check out our gingham and floral ranges)
-
Quilting cottons in pastel tones
🐣 2. Reversible Bunny Ear Headbands
Perfect for little ones (and grown-ups who love to get festive), these easy-sew bunny ears are adorable and quick to make. Use contrasting fabrics for a reversible look, and attach to a headband or tie with soft elastic.
Sewing tip: Lightweight cotton or poplin is ideal for this project—firm enough to stand up, but comfy enough to wear all day.
🌸 3. Easter Table Runners & Napkins
Give your Easter table a handmade touch with a bright, spring-themed runner. Use cheerful florals, embroidered details, or mix and match pastels for a patchwork vibe. Matching napkins? Even better!
Fabric ideas:
-
Linen look cottons for a rustic feel
-
Floral polycottons for an easy-care finish
🧵 4. Soft Toy Chicks & Bunnies
Stitch up cuddly companions using our soft fleece or felt fabrics. These make lovely gifts for kids (or the young at heart!) and are a fab scrap-busting project if you've got leftover fabric from other makes.
Fabric tip: Mix fleece with felt for texture and easy shaping.
🌼 5. DIY Easter Gift Bags
Swap plastic eggs and wrappers for handmade fabric gift bags—sustainable and stylish. Use cotton drawstring bags in fun prints and reuse them year after year. They’re great for egg hunts or gifting mini treats.
Fabrics to try:
-
Lightweight cottons, ginghams, and novelty Easter prints
