Summer is a good time for small, portable and forgiving needlework projects. It’s also a good time to get a start on holiday gifts. A nifty booklet from 1951, Crochet Money-Makers for your Bazaar (The Spool Cotton Co.), has a couple of adorable projects. If you start now, you can crochet sewing accessories for everyone on your list who sews.
The sweet little Sewing Susan featured on the bottom left corner of the cover has a pin cushion in the middle and pockets for spools of threads. The purple and green on the sample is a dandy color combo, but it might also look good in blue and yellow or red and white.
Little Johnny-on-the-Spot has places for your pins, your thimbles and spools of thread. He’s a handy boy to have around for mending. And he’s super cute to use as decor in your sewing room. Anyone who love vintage and sews would appreciate receiving him as a gift.
The nice thing about both these crochet sewing accessories projects is not only are they adorable, they can be tucked in a small bag to become that grab and go kit for where ever your summer travels take you.
Another easy project for a summer of adventures are these crochet letters, made from granny squares.
