5 Easy Couch Sewing Projects You Can Finish During the Super Bowl

Super Bowl Sunday doesn’t have to be all about football. For many sewists, it’s the perfect excuse to get cozy on the couch with a simple project—something relaxing, low-pressure, and easy to pause when the game gets exciting.
That’s where pre-cut fabrics really shine. With less cutting and prep, they’re ideal for sewing while watching the game, chatting with friends, or enjoying a laid-back February evening.
Here are five easy couch sewing projects you can work on during the Super Bowl—most using pre-cuts like mini charm packs, charm packs, jelly rolls, or layer cakes.
