Dear Sewing Superstar,
Here we are, right in the middle of summer, and what’s on our mind? For a lot of us, we’re already thinking about the kids heading back to school. Here at We Like Sewing, we think kids ought to have some special school supplies that will make them smile—and they’ll have you to thank for that homemade touch!
Let’s start with an irresistible project for a special little one in your life. Forget about those expensive, store-bought backpacks that look like all the other backpacks out there. Make the Purr-fectly Pink Kids’ Backpack & get ready for big smiles! This adorable kitty backpack is packed with purr-sonality, in soft faux fur with a drawstring closure and custom kid-size straps. And who can resist that sweet little kitty face? This is one backpack that’ll really stand out!
So, what’s in your fabric stash? I bet you have enough scraps to piece together a reusable lunch bag that’s so much cuter than anything you’ll find at the store (and I bet it’ll last longer, too!). Plus, our Stashbuster Pinwheel Quilted Lunch Bag is a quilting stashbuster’s dream. Put the classic pinwheel pattern to excellent use to create the body of this bag. Each lunch bag will be unique—maybe you can let your back-to-schooler pick the pinwheel pieces!
Here’s another great way to use up your fabric scraps and make adorable back-to-school supplies at the same time. Our Shooting Stars Rainbow Zipper Pouch is totally customizable. Choose your color scheme and shoot for the stars! This is a quick pattern to make, so you might as well make a few while you have your sewing machine out. The hardest thing about making this pouch will be picking the fabric to showcase the star.
No expert sewing skills are required to make any of these projects in our Back to School Roundup. Each pattern includes a detailed template, pattern notes, and a complete list of the tools and materials you need to succeed. All these projects are designed with smiles in mind! Get ready to sew up some super back-to-school gear!
