Sewing Crossword Puzzle (Printable)

Fancy a break? Why not print and play our Sewing Crossword Puzzle…

There are two versions to choose from, each with 23 clues related to sewing. There’s a straight clues version for a traditional crossword, or if you’d like a bit more of a challenge we also have a cryptic version to tickle your brain cells. The answers are the same for both puzzles.

If you get stuck, you’ll find the answers toward the bottom of this post.

Have fun!

Note: If you’re from outside the UK, note that we use UK spelling (we think this only affects one answer, 18 down).

Sewing Crossword - Straight Clues

Download the puzzle (PDF) by clicking on the image below, you should then be able to print it directly from your browser/device. We’ve blurred the clues in this image so that those wanting to do the cryptic version don’t accidentally see them. The download won’t be blurred!

Sewing Crossword - Cryptic Clues
