I've been wanting to learn to sew for a while now, but unfortunately live in a small studio apartment so I have no room for a sewing machine at the moment.

I was thinking about picking up hand sewing for now, but have no idea what would be a good projects to start with. It's hard finding patterns specifically for hand sewing, and as a current non-sewer, I'm not sure which patterns would be easy to start with. I've sewn some coasters with cut-out designs but kind of want to branch out.

Any suggestions for patterns that wouldn't be a terrible bitch to attempt to hand sew, especially for a beginner?
