Children's Art Smock Sew n Go Panel — A Wonderful Project for Little Artists!

One of the most exciting features of Schoolyard Scribbles is the adorable Children's Art Smock Sew n Go Panel, designed to help you create a practical, colorful art smock for a budding young artist.

Unlike the collection's standard quilting cotton, the smock panel is printed on canvas, providing a more substantial fabric for an apron-style garment designed to help protect children's clothing during messy creative activities.

The panel includes printed cutting and sewing guidance with sizing options for children's sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. It even includes pockets, perfect for keeping art supplies close at hand.

A Colorful Art Smock with Convenient Pockets

The Schoolyard Scribbles art smock features a lively, school-inspired print filled with crayons, rainbows, pencils, apples, and other cheerful classroom motifs.

Its pockets add a practical touch, giving little artists a place to keep frequently used supplies as they draw, paint, and create.

The canvas construction makes this an especially useful project for art time, craft activities, and other creative adventures. Follow the panel's sewing instructions and fabric care guidance for construction and laundering.

Sew an Art Smock in Sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12

The smock panel includes sizing guidance for five children's sizes, allowing you to make an art smock suited to the child you're sewing for.

Whether you're creating a first art smock for a preschooler or sewing one for an older child who loves to paint and draw, the printed panel simplifies the preparation and cutting process.

Check the panel instructions to select the appropriate size and determine any additional notions or supplies needed to complete the project.

Encourage Children to Become Makers

We love projects that encourage children to discover the joy of creating something with their hands!

A handmade art smock can become part of a special creative tradition. Imagine giving a child their very own colorful smock along with crayons, watercolor paints, or other age-appropriate art supplies.

It's a thoughtful gift for birthdays, holidays, the beginning of the school year, or simply to celebrate a child's creativity.

The Schoolyard Scribbles art smock is also a wonderful project for grandparents, parents, teachers, and anyone who loves encouraging children to explore art and making things.

Schoolyard Scribbles — Rainbows, Crayons, School Buses & More

Every fabric in Schoolyard Scribbles brings another cheerful element of school-day creativity to life. The collection combines expressive novelty prints with smaller coordinating designs that make it easy to create colorful, balanced sewing projects.

ABCs Rainbow School Toss

The playful ABCs Rainbow School Toss prints celebrate learning with colorful school buses, rainbows, sunshine, alphabet letters, crayons, pencils, apples, and art supplies.

These lively prints are available in contrasting background colors, creating different looks within the same collection.

The white background feels bright and cheerful, while the black background makes the colorful illustrations especially vibrant. Coordinating designs can be mixed together for quilts, bags, and classroom accessories.

These fabrics are particularly appealing for children's quilts and projects celebrating the start of a new school year.

Rainbow Toss Fabrics

The Rainbow Toss prints feature happy rainbows, cheerful sunshine, and colorful motifs that capture the imaginative spirit of childhood.

These playful designs are beautiful for children's patchwork, colorful pillowcases, library bags, and handmade gifts.

Pair the brighter rainbow prints with smaller stars or more subtle coordinating fabrics to create contrast and allow the main designs to shine.

Crayon Toss and Crayon Stars

Nothing says creativity quite like a handful of colorful crayons!

The Crayon Toss fabrics feature scattered crayons and artistic details, while the Crayon Stars designs combine bright crayon-like shapes with a playful geometric arrangement.

These fabrics are wonderful for art-themed sewing projects, classroom accessories, bags for holding supplies, and colorful patchwork quilts.

Their cheerful designs also coordinate beautifully with the Children's Art Smock Sew n Go Panel.

Apples, Teacher Stripes & Colorful Flower Grids

Schoolyard Scribbles includes coordinating prints that bring even more variety to the collection.

Apple Toss celebrates a familiar school-day favorite, making it especially sweet for teacher appreciation gifts and classroom projects.

The Teacher & Apple Stripe offers a decorative stripe design that can be used for borders, accents, bags, and other sewing projects where a directional print creates visual interest.

Colorful Flower Grid prints provide a more geometric coordinating option, balancing the busier school-themed designs and bringing structure to patchwork arrangements.

Together, these prints give quilters plenty of ways to mix playful imagery with smaller supporting patterns.

Schoolyard Scribbles Fat Quarter Bundle — 16 Coordinating Fabrics

The Schoolyard Scribbles Fat Quarter Bundle brings together 16 coordinating fat quarters from this colorful collection, making it easier to combine its bright school-themed prints in a single project.

Fat quarters are especially convenient for patchwork quilts, small bags, pencil pouches, fabric baskets, and other sewing projects that benefit from a variety of coordinated fabrics.

Mix rainbow tosses with colorful stars, crayon prints, apples, and coordinating grids to create a cheerful patchwork design filled with school-day personality.

A coordinated bundle also makes fabric selection easier, particularly when you want several different prints without choosing every yardage fabric individually.

Schoolyard Scribbles 108" Wide Star Quilt Backing

Schoolyard Scribbles also includes colorful 108-inch-wide star prints that offer a beautiful option for quilt backing.

The cheerful multicolored stars are available on black and white backgrounds, providing two different looks for coordinating quilts.

The black star backing creates a striking contrast with brightly colored prints, while the white background offers a lighter, more playful appearance.

Why Choose 108" Wide Backing Fabric?

A 108" wide backing is particularly convenient for larger quilts because it can reduce or eliminate the need to piece together standard-width fabric for the backing, depending on the quilt's dimensions.

The star designs also coordinate naturally with the bright colors and playful motifs throughout Schoolyard Scribbles.

Explore additional Star Fabrics for more colorful stars and coordinating quilting possibilities.

Always check your quilt's dimensions and the backing requirements in your pattern before purchasing fabric.

Children's Quilts and Colorful Patchwork

Consider using a favorite ABCs Rainbow School Toss print as the focal fabric, with smaller stars, grids, or rainbow prints in the surrounding blocks.

A Schoolyard Scribbles quilt would make a thoughtful gift for a child beginning preschool, kindergarten, or elementary school.

Library Bags, Pencil Pouches & School Accessories

Schoolyard Scribbles is also lovely for everyday accessories children can use throughout the school year.
