Great Sewing Tutorials and Projects for Beginners

I promised my friend Jo that i would do some posts containing easy tutorials and ideas for beginners in the land of sewing. I recently lent her one of my three sewing machines (3 is just greedy isn't it!) and so far she has made a very funky cushion and somes bags and blankets for her daughter in Kindergarten. Now all i need her to do is make a blog and start posting pictures!
This cushion is super easy and has squared off corners

Great tutorials you have Chosen. You can't go wrong with a pin cushion and that one you have selected is a goodie. Love the boxy pouch - haven't seen that one before.

This tissue box cover tutorial by Kirin Notebook is a nice one to try too.
