You guys! Â YOU GUYS!!
I am beyond excited about today’s post! Â The lovely folks at Michael Miller Fabrics (yes, THAT Michael Miller Fabrics) invited me to be a guest “counselor” for their new Kids Summer Craft Camp.
The Michael Miller Fabrics blog is called Making it Fun and the Kids Summer Craft Camp is a series of projects created to get kids excited about sewing and fabrics. Â They also post the projects on their Facebook page.
For my contribution to to Craft Camp, I created a project that is perfect for kids of all ages to sew for themselves!  Arden sewed her own Camper Cowl, shown here.  This is a digital pattern that you can print at home on regular paper along with a step by step tutorial.
You’ll need access to a sewing machine for this project and basic sewing skills. Â Two 1/3 yard cuts of fabric, or one 2/3 yard cut is all that it takes! Â The downloadable instructions for the Camper Cowl can be found here in my pattern shop.

Once you’ve opened the file, print the pattern pieces at full size, gather your materials and let’s get sewing! Â This cowl is sized to fit kids all the way through adults. Â That means you can make some for yourself, your friends and for Mom & Dad! Â It’s a quick project, so you’ll have time to make several with all your favorite fabrics. Â Get together with your friends and gift/swap/trade away!

[…] I had on hand.  Michael Miller Fabrics had sent me a selection from their Petit Paris line for my Summer Craft Camp Camper Cowl so I gratefully used a variety of fabrics to create this black and white and French all over lunch […]
