Even though I don’t work with felt often, I somehow ended up with a lot of felt scraps in my stash. I love that felt comes in a lot of bright colors, and its texture makes it super easy to work with. I sometimes forget how easy and quick it can be to stitch up something made of felt!
These free felt sewing patterns work for any kind of felt, whether it’s the inexpensive by-the-sheet felt you find in the craft store or the high-quality wool felt you can purchase by the yard. Thanks to the fabric’s versatility, there are all kinds of free felt sewing patterns available to download, from toys and brooches to tech cases and even home decor.
Check out these free felt sewing patterns to stitch up in a flash.

2. Felt Food Sushi
Use your felt scraps to make five different types of sushi that are perfect for kitchen play. If you don’t want to use it as a food toy, you can just use it as a fun display in your home. You could even sew the pieces to a large rectangle of felt and hang it on the wall of your kitchen.

3. Felt Flower Tutorial
This flower was designed as a doll hair accessory, but there are plenty of other things you could do with it. Attach it to a child’s headband to add a pop of fun color, attach a pin to the back to turn it into a brooch, sew it to your favorite tote bag — there are so many possibilities! The edges of the flower are finished with a blanket stitch; if you’re not familiar with the technique, you can find a blanket stitch tutorial here in Option 3.

7. Sew a Smiley Sleep Mask
Use your softest felt for this sleep mask. Felt is a great material for this since it’s soft but still thick enough to block light. Sew this up as a quick gift for a friend’s birthday or as part of a spa gift package.

8. Chrysi Pin
Felt is a great choice for sewing flowers since it holds its shape and doesn’t flop over like most other fabrics. Sew this one up in your favorite color or combine different colors of felt for a multi-colored bloom.

9. Heart Hand Warmer
Fill these with rice before you sew them up, then heat them in the microwave for instant warmth. They’re great for stuffing in your pockets before you leave the house on a chilly day or just for holding when you can’t seem to warm up fast enough.
