"  September is National Sewing Month and while it&amp;#039;s practically over, I hope I can inspire you to start a project before the 30th. Mostly, I sew clothing but this month I&amp;#039;ve been having fun working on a few accessories and thought you might too!  1. Make your own iPad or Kindle cover: Many of you probably own the iPad or Kindle and know that a designer cover can cost you more than the device itself (a Louis Vuitton cover is $390, cheap compared to one from Chanel for $1,555, yikes!). You can create your own for much less. Visit the NationalSewingMonth.org website to find out how. 2. Whip up a September Hoodie: I&amp;#039;m working on a hoodie because I thought it would be the perfect accessory for the crisp fall weather. The intermediate/advanced level pattern from Burdastyle.com that I&amp;#039;m using is for a size 6, find instructions here on how to rescale it your size. 3. Create a reusable grocery bag: Go green (and stylish) by making your own shopping tote. At About.com you can find step-by-step instructions with pictures. Looking for other Do-It-Yourself projects?
