1. Citrus coasters

Sewing is fun, of course. Sewing for the summer project is even funnier. And sewing with bits of help from your kids is the most entertaining! Citrus coasters are such things that you can do that way. Guide your child to use drinking glass or bowl as a template and cut circles from bright-colored sheets.

Don't forget to remind your kids to use different-sized templates to have different-sized rings. They would love to help you with this exciting job. Your job is cut around the segment's edge to get natural-look rounded corners and then, pin everything in place. The final task is threading and attaching the layers of circles with embroidery floss. Your lovely colorful citrus coasters are done correctly. Your kids will love them a lot!

2. Sheer Beach Cover Up

My dear sewists, answer me honestly: don't you feel intimidated with sheer fabrics? We did afraid of them a lot. They are one of the most robust materials ever. They are heat-sensitive, friable, scorched, and stretchy. However, they are such a perfect material for summertime, especially for a beach cover-up. So, here is a way to deal with this sensitive material: You choose a piece of sheer fabric with the color or pattern you love; cut them into a simple oversized rectangle; hem all the edges of the cut piece with a narrow-hemmer foot. Don't forget the interior slit, add some creative decoration (likes tassels, trims, or other embellishments) on the cover, and your styled beach cover-up is ready to use!

A tip here is that choosing the right sewing machine will give you more choices for decorating the cover. If you don't know which device is just right for you, our article on how to buy a sewing machine for beginners will help you.

3. Sunglasses Cases

Summertime is also a beach-time. We just had a beach cover, and now we will need sunglasses cases. Don't ever underestimate the role of these cases and tossed your sunglasses into your bag and lets them get scratched and damaged. They don't deserve that. And sew a sunglass pouch is so easy and straightforward. Pick a satin-lined, felt, or even rhinestone-encrusted. The choice is all yours.

4. Beach Bag

Beach Bag

You did have a cover-up, a case for your sunglasses, and then you will need a bag to pack your pieces of stuff and head up the beach. Choose a sturdy canvas, cut it on the square so it will stay open on the top and have a full edge on the bottom. Making a bag is just so simple, so you don't have to put a lot of effort into it, but don't forget to make a large bag which is enough for all of the towels, sunscreen, beach blankets, and others.

Four projects aren’t so many, but right enough to warm you up and give more inspirations for you to have more ideas. Take a look back on what is a good starter sewing machine, buy your desired machine, and start sewing right today.
