Okay, everyone, let’s dive into a fun world where you can put your sewing supplies to work and enjoy creating something functional yet still pretty. Even if you didn’t think it was possible to do so in something as simple as a door guard, these 12 Creative DIY Door Stopper Sewing Patterns are going to prove us all wrong.
When you think about it, the thing that you use to keep your door open when there is wind is important.
But you also want something that is going to show you just how pretty every detail in your home is. That’s why I’m so excited to show you these sewn door stops.
Each DIY door stopper has got a little something special to it.
Some of the mare 3D with dimension and color. Others focus more on a fun print that you can see here as butterflies, but the pattern will be ready for whatever you want.
Others are more focused on a classic footprint, using ripe and a grommet and whatever fabric pieces you want to make.
Many of the patterns here keep a simple footprint with a handle for easy moving.
This means that you can customize them however you want, and they’ll look great regardless.
There are also some animal ones, like a classic sitting bunny or an owl, that is going to be perfect for when you want to use up those buttons that you have been saving.
Whether you want to make one of these out of scrap fabric or buy something special for it, you can’t go wrong.
These also make great housewarming gifts, and it’ll be fun to pick out fabric for the person that you are giving these to.
Plus, they’ll never expect it, yet they will use them every single time the wind picks up!
