Whether you’re refreshing your closet, sewing for family or adding handmade touches to your gathering spaces, this collection celebrates practical projects with plenty of personality.

For warmer weather dressing, we’re featuring relaxed, wearable pieces that can easily become summer favorites. The Aidan Men’s Pocket T-Shirt offers a classic everyday look with a customizable pop of color, while Don Morin’s Camille Wrap Skirt and matching Bias-Cut Camisole create an elegant pairing perfect for sunny days, vacations and outdoor gatherings. Start sewing it now and it’ll be ready for your next family vacation!

This issue also embraces the charm of handmade home décor and seasonal entertaining. Debbie von Grabler-Crozier’s Retro Cabinet Curtains bring cozy cottage style to kitchens and storage spaces, while our featured table projects add bold color and playful summer flair. From the vivid Violet Farmer’s Daughter Table Runner to Baby Lock’s Watermelon Tablecloth, these designs are made for brightening tables, celebrations and everyday moments alike.

Together, these projects reflect what we love most about summer sewing: approachable designs, creative versatility and handmade pieces that are just as enjoyable to use as they are to make.

Happy sewing,
