10+ Fruity Summer Sewing Project Ideas
Summer is in the air and my favorite thing about summer is all the fresh fruit! Here in California we have a fruit stand on just about every corner and I couldn’t love it more! So I thought we would put my two loves (sewing and fruit) and put them together for a fun fruity summer sewing project ideas post.

So awesome right? And the yellow is also pretty stunning. This reminds me of the new line from Simple Simon and Co for Riley Blake, Just Add SugarJust Add Sugar!
Felt Watermelon
How sweet are these watermelon slices? I am sitting here eating watermelon as I write this which is probably why my mouth is watering so much! Watermelon is my absolute favorite thing to eat! Do you love watermelon?? What is your favorite summer fruit? I think I could live on fruit and nothing else for the entire summer!
Lemon Bookmark
This is a listing where you can purchase the lemon bookmark. But one of my favorite things to do is use a listing as inspiration! So buy it or make it yourself it is your choice! I love the idea of it either way! Felt is such a fun and easy medium to work with. This little bookmark would be simple to make and I wouldn’t be too worried about the kids ruining it.

I’m in love with the rainbow inspired pineapple hand embroidery pattern. I am adding this project to my must make list!! Don’t you love it?
