Here’s today’s post:

As the editor of AllFreeSewing.com, I look forward to rounding up the top projects at the end of each month. August was a great month for AllFreeSewing because with the summer coming to a close, we were able to celebrate the end of one season and the start of another. Personally, I love the transition of summer to fall  and with so many great sewing projects and tutorials to choose from, there’s no shortage of things to make for either season.

We let our readers decide which projects are worthy of making the top projects list. Out of all the projects featured in August AllFreeSewing newsletters, these are the ones you’ve deemed the best. If you’re not subscribed to receive  our newsletters, you’re missing out! You can subscribe here.

For a quick recap on the things you missed, check out a few of the top projects in August. If you’re one of the regulars, please take this opportunity to revisit your favorites – they could spark some new inspiration!
