Although school is back in session, we are still dealing with hot Summer temps. Don't let the heat keep you from sewing. Here are a few late summer sewing ideas to get you inspired to sit down at your machine and make something amazing!
Carrie made the Picnic Set with some of our Essex Yarn Dyed Linen/Cotton Gingham.
Not only can you wear this budget-conscious summer dress with style and comfort, it can keep you inside during the hottest part of the day as you sew in air conditioned bliss.
You can teach your kids to sew , starting with their pick of a yard of fabric for a simple skirt. There are many free patterns on the internet for kids’ skirts, not to mention shorts and pants.
Here are a few links to free, basic, children's sewing projects:

Quilts can keep you in air conditioning for a lot longer, but they deliver huge benefits of fun. How about a date night project? Making a picnic quilt together can help you really get to know people!
This quilt was made with some of our favorite Fableism fabrics: Checkmate Checkers
Quilts can be great scrap busters, too. Get just a few new favorites and see how many pieces you can get out of your stash that go with them. Again, very air conditioning-friendly!
This gorgeous quilt is Laura's latest creation, using a mix of Kaffe Fassett fabrics from the shop.

Happy Sewing!
