3 Simple Summer Sewing Tutorials

in Bags and Pouches on 01/08/22

Welcome! How is your summer going? Are you in a sewing funk OR are you sewing up a storm? I find that during the summer, people are often on a sewing break or having the time of their life sewing happily away.

HaberdasheryFun Canadian Summer

I have blogging and sharing sewing tutorials for 10+ years and over the years I have provided tutorials for babies, kids, bags, pouches, accessories, pillows and other items for the home. So, if you are looking for a summer pool or beach sewing tutorial, you have come to the right place.

Here are links to 3 fun tutorials. Click the blue link and it will take you to the tutorial.

Hooded Baby Towel

This is a great everyday baby towel and is also perfect for the pool or beach! Sew it up in a colorful terry towel and you have something fun for the summer. You can always keep the Terry towel white and have a classic hooded towel for the new baby. Link for the tutorial.

Essentials Pouch

This pouch is nice, big and an all time favorite in my house. As a family, this pouch is tried, tested and true. We have used for years. It is great for holding sunscreen, your phone, keys and other goodies. We now use it to hold our cutlery when we go camping. A side note – the metal zipper can get “hot” in the sun.
