Inside, you’ll find a holiday half apron with roomy pockets designed in both child and adult sizes. Mothers and grandmothers can stitch matching sets and enjoy creating something special together. We’ve also included a cheerful candy corn drawstring bag, a playful variation on last issue’s project. This time it becomes a little backpack, perfect for the season’s adventures.

There’s a charming hand-sewn pumpkin or apple purse too, an invitation for creativity and choice as young sewists decide which design to bring to life. For those eager to keep using their machines, you’ll find a machine-sewn pumpkin project with a pumpkin coloring sheet.
