Shed your winter wardrobe and start sewing light, breezy spring basics with the patterns in our new May issue. Sophie Tarrant’s lightweight robe is made from pretty vintage sheets and is a great Mother’s Day gift to start today. Lauren Merciris’s delicate springtime cami is perfect for fabrics like silk and is finished with sweet lace trim. Speaking of camisoles, Beth Byrge shares her journey of copying a beloved cami from the early 2000s in her new article.

Our readers can’t get enough of whimsical yet practical kitchen décor, which is why we’ve packed our May issue with three fun patterns.
