Here’s Today’s Post:
Now that I’m no longer in school, I really love this time of year. That dread of returning to homework, tests and papers has been replaced with a deep sense of nostalgia. This year, instead of fantasizing about new supplies and freshly-pressed outfits, I think I’ll craft away my back to school blues. Thankfully, AllFreeSewing‘s latest eBook, 6 Free Sewing Projects to Make for Going Back to School, is filled with back to school projects that you can wear or use immediately.
I like that this eBook is filled with ideas for everyone. Whether you’re crafting for a kid or an adult, you’ll find crafty ideas in this eBook. Also, the projects cater to a variety of skill sets, so you can try something more difficult or go back to basics.
My personal favorite project in this eBook is the Lunch Sack. Last year I decided to “go green” and carry a reusable tote to work each day instead of using (and then throwing away) a plastic bag. This project is a great option if you want to keep your food the correct temperature and save the environment from unnecessary waste. It’s honestly so easy to make this project – beginners can show off their work with pride!
Here are some more back to school projects to get you in the fall spirit:
Are you excited for back to school season? Why or why not?

I’m excited … we homeschool and this year we’re studying the Far East … fun!
back to school in itself doesnt affect me anymorebut as the weather cools off i start to thinks about sewing a winter wardrobe.
I am excited because my granddaughter started kindergarten this year.
My son is starting preschool and I am so excited for the fun he is going to have!
Awesome. I need to make the hubby a new lunch sack. Will give this a try!
My babies are not in school yet .. I just like to make new stuff 🙂 I really want to make my daughter a cute lil back pack and a lunch sac for my hubby !! These are my next 2 projects 🙂 Wish me luck (pick me!,pick me!)
mine are in jr high and high school 🙂
Love the lunch sack!
Back to school is a wonderful thing if you are a mom like me. The thought of the kids being gone at school is a wonderful thing.
Not too excited for back to school. NO longer have any kids at home, and Now it means my daughter is far away, instead of at home. But we still enjoy the get ready for school projects, now for a dorm room instead of a locker.
I no longer have kids at home but stil love school supplies and all the gadgets- the caddy is my favorite and I think it will make lovely gifts for teachers, grandchildren, teen volunteers,=.. I live it!
the homemade backpacks are very cute, and i love the clothes from oliver + s!
So much variety in only six designs! 🙂
The lunch sack looks great, especially since it is insulated.
We homeschool and the children and I were excited to start back.
This will be fun for my Kindergartener to help me make!
We homeschool, and do enjoy back to school time. Not too much changes, but our days become a little more intentional, and we find more time to do activities like crafts and projects.
Cool gituar shirt!
“back to school” doesn’t affect me since my daughters are grown and out of the house. BUT, it does remind me that Christmas is just a few short months away! Time to get stitchin’!
I wonder how successful one might be in approaching the makers of sports team fabric things for their “seconds” and otherwise unsellable fabric left-overs so one’s school-age child could have a special backpack or book tote with an applique of the team’s logo or such. You can always get something from the thrift store or a yardsale that you could cut up to get the valued applique material too. And if not “sports”, how about the child’s favorite TV show as inspiration for some embellishment?
As usual, no disappointments here…
great blog site, great info!!
My little ones are not yet in school but will hopefully get to start preschool next year!
I love the great ideas for back to school projects and can’t wait til I can make some for my boys 🙂
Cute! Good for holding crafting supplies as well I would think.
I really want to try the lunch sak.
The bow backpack is pretty cute.
