    30 Ideas for Spring and Easter Sewing

    Modified: Mar 21, 2026 · Published: Mar 28, 2025 by Amy Smart · This post may contain affiliate links · 6 Comments

    Happy Spring everyone! As soon as March starts to roll around, I'm ready for a change of scenery and temperature. Today I'm pulling out all my Spring and Easter decorations! Even though early spring is somewhat inconsistent about the weather, it's still hopeful to feel like warm and sunshine are on their way sometime soon. I've updated my list of 30+ ideas for Spring and Easter sewing to get you in the mood, even if outside can't always make up its mind.

    I had fun updating this list with some new finds for this year. Some of these ideas are free tutorials, others are patterns you can buy.

    Free tutorials for Spring and Easter Sewing

    First off: here's a look at the Easter Quilt I made last year. It was such a fun scrappy project and great way to show off the Easter-themed FQ bundle that inspired the quilt!

    The block tutorial for this quilt pattern is free and it was a super fun project for pulling out pastel fabric scraps!
