Summer Splash Round Up

Choose one or more of these fun summer-themed sewing projects and stitch some sunshine into your next picnic, pool party, or road trip. Whether you’re heading to the park, backyard, or beach—there’s an easy-to-make project for you. Here’s a roundup of a few of our favorite summertime sewing projects:

Mermaid Dress Up

Grab this quick sewing tutorial and create a mermaid tail for dress-up all-year long. This idea was inspired by Nancy Zieman’s granddaughters. After watching Doll Costume Dress Up on Sewing With Nancy.

Colorful Bean Bag Toss

One of America’s family’s favorite outdoor games goes by quite a few names; cornhole, tailgate, bean bag toss, doghouse, Baggo, or, just plain bags. What would the game be without festive, colorful bags? Learn how to sew your own cornhole bags (or bean bags) and let the games begin! Find the bean bag sewing tutorial here.

Sew a Casserole Carrier

Stitch this Casserole Carrier project in an evening or two. Then, let your tasteful carrier help you get a handle on things. Cook, place a casserole in the center, wrap and GO! An insulated carrier is perfect for picnics and potluck dinners. The inner insulated pocket lets you store a hot or cold pack to keep the temperature of your dish just right. The carrier folds flat when not in use and can be laundered. See how easy it is to create this carrier, here.

Sew Easy Summer Napkins

These easy to make napkins are ideal for a summer luncheon, picnic, or handmade hostess gift. Stitch a set of four napkins in an hour or less with Nancy’s sew-easy mitered corner technique. Showcase your favorite fabrics by mixing or matching fabric groupings, or make them from one fabric. Find the sewing tutorial for Easy Summer Napkins, here.

The randomly selected winner of Nancy Zieman’s New! Afternoon Picnic Fat Quarter Pack, is Carla.

 

Her comment is: I love this block and the fabric is just divine. The instructions look so simple that I really think I could make this quilt in baby size with wonderful baby fabric. Now mind you I have never really made a quilt. I made one quilt top and that was over 20 years ago. I’m still looking for the fabric I bought to put on the back of it. ha ha. I just love all the info I get from Nancy Zieman website and I watched all the time on PBS as she was so informative on how to do things and had wonderful guests. Thank you for this opportunity to win this FAT QUARTER PACK.
