These cheerful, warm-weather sewing ideas make perfect decorations, accessories, and gifts.

Quite the jackpot here! Lots of fun projects to choose from, my favorites:

  • Towel Tote: This homemade satchel does double duty as a tote bag and a beach towel. Plus, it has pockets inside for holding snacks, supplies, and more.
  • Smocked Sundress: This adorable smocked sundress is a perfect project for a summer weekend (also check out The Art Of Smocking: How To Guide).
  • Bias-Tape Tote Bag: This handmade tote provides a proper place for all your essentials. The individual pockets are stitched together using bias tape, which binds the pieces and creates a colorful contrast to the pattern.
  • Mesh Bag: With this convenient carryall, a day at the beach needn’t end with a bag full of sand.
  • Waterproof Picnic Blanket: Don’t let yesterday’s rainstorm dampen your picnic plans: Waterproof a cotton or wool blanket by adding a protective backing of water-resistant fabric.
  • Waterproof Book Covers: Protect your summer reading at the beach or pool with these stylish covers.
  • Terry-Cloth Caddy: Clear off bathroom countertops by storing toiletries in a hanging terry organizer.

Please visit the site above to view all the projects and their instructions, great find!
