I'm inspired! Summer projects...

We have been a homeschooling family ever since I taught my first daughter how to read, and I've loved having my kids home with me (most days!) ever since. However, we have found that there is a season for everything, and have made the decision to enroll our 3 children in a Christian school next year. We were blessed to be able to do so and are excited about a new routine for our family.

My hope is that with all the changes going on in our house, I will also be able to sew more. I've been looking forward to some projects I can't wait to get my hands on. Here's a taste of what's to come... and maybe some tutorials too!

I am always inspired by the amazing creations on Etsty.com. These ladies (and gents) are so talented! Dance2Create has a favorite lunch bag that I adore. I've never needed to pack lunches for my kids on a daily basis with them being home, so I'm excited to see if I can recreate this bag with my own flare. She's got other great lunch bag items and adorable fabrics to choose from. Check her stuff out HERE.


Another idea I have rolling around in my head is this cute crayon roll-up. I've seen these before in boutique shops and thought they looked pretty simple to make. I just love the fabric of this Mini Crayon Roll from lar1203 on Etsy.com. So, this will be a definite project for me to figure out this summer. I can imagine my kids taking these on road trips or just having their own handy pack of crayons.


And finally, one more simple sewing idea I have is this cute Wristlet Key Fob. I'm looking forward to finding some fun fabrics and making these as gifts.

These are just a few of the projects I'm excited about trying out this summer! If you have any suggestions for simple sewing ideas, let me know in a comment below. I'd love to hear from you.
