I love Back to School season. It has so many memories from my childhood. From shopping for school supplies to picking the first day of school outfit. Just the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and brand new sneakers takes me back to childhood. Which means it is no surprise that when July ends and August begins I've got a list of simple back to school sewing projects I want to do. Of course, not all back to school sewing is about making new clothes for my kids. Though I do enjoy that.
Instead, a lot of my yearly list includes other things to sew for back to school projects. Items like zipper pouches, lunch boxes or key-chains. They are the essentials, but sometimes we don't think about sewing these items because we often just buy them at the store. Think of the money we could save if we just went through our stash of fabric and created some super simple back to school sewing projects. Plus, our kids would love them even more because they could help pick the fabric or even help sew some of the projects.
Perhaps this list will inspire you to take a moment this year and make some simple back to school sewing projects for your little people. I'm sure they will thank you later.

The link to the Circular earbud Holder is dead and I can't find the item on her website. The Gadget Guard is a $10 pattern.
ReplyDeleteJust updated the Circular earbud link. As for the Gadget Guard, often popular posts become paid patterns. My guess is that is what happened here.
