Dear Sewing Superstar,
Each year as the new year rolls around, I look at all the projects I planned to sew but never got around to them. This year I will!
Get inspiration for your new must-make projects with our newest collection: The Best Sewing Patterns of 2024. It’s packed with on-trend patterns to help you keep you current all year long!
From chic accessories to the most adorable baby gifts to tailor-made tips to spruce up your wardrobe, we have a lot of super sewing to celebrate! Let’s take a peek inside.
Something New to Wear
Update your winter wardrobe with a simple and sophisticated sweater pattern. Our Aspen V-Neck Sweater features a deep v-neckline and contrasting trim on the neckline and cuffs. Wear your v-neck sweater on its own or layer it over a basic tank top in a coordinating color. This is a must-have for your cold weather wardrobe.
Casual chic has never looked so effortless! Our Addie Casual T-Shirt Dress is perfect for summer. It’s comfy and stretchy, making it ideal for jersey or other stretch fabrics, and you can make it with regular raglan or roll-up raglan sleeves. Make this dress in different lengths to expand your spring and summer wardrobe with ease!
Other great wardrobe patterns include the Cora Spring Mini Skirt, Haven Fitted Vest, and Hit the Slopes Ear Warmer. Something for every season!
Sewing Tips & Tricks
When it comes to sewing, it’s the details that count. We have some great tips and tricks to help you put the perfect finishing touches on your next project!
No two women are built the same, and everyone has a horror story about an outfit that didn’t fit quite right. Well, read our tutorial, Perfect Fit: How to Do a Full Bust Adjustment, and you’ll gain the confidence to adjust a pattern to tailor it to your own personal specifications!
Experienced sewists can tell you: keep your sewing machine in good working order. But how? Take the worry out of sewing machine care when you read At Your Service: How Often Should I Service My Sewing Machine? You’ll have all the info you need to keep your sewing machine in tip-top shape!
Sprucing up your home décor doesn’t have to be a chore. Even beginning sewists will be proud of the final product when they follow our Bedtime Beginner Friendly Pillowcase Tutorial. With detailed instructions from start to finish, you’ll have a new set of pillowcases ready to sleep on when the day is done!

Home Sweet Home-Sewn
Home-sewn gifts from the heart mean so much more than something that comes from a store.
The little ones in your life, consider the Rosy Rattles Modern Baby Quilt with its big, bold, colorful rattles. We show you how to make perfect circles for those rosy rattles using freezer paper. Young ones will love story time when they get to read their very own Love Grows Here Baby Picture Book. Parents and baby will appreciate this handmade book! And forget the store-bought stuffy—our Wilbur Stuffed Snail Pattern is fun and easy to make and will bring a big smile to a child’s face!
The handmade touch brings a special dimension to personal and practical gifts for friends and family. Keep pace with current accessory trends and make our Blushing Pink Crossbody Sling Bag (featured on our cover). This little bag can hold a lot! Recycle your old jeans and put them to great use in the kitchen. Our Recycled Denim Oven Mitt Pattern turns your old jeans into something that’s both pretty and practical. It’s a great way to use up small cotton scraps, too!
Give friends and family that warm and fuzzy feeling with their own Home Sweet Home Draft Stopper. Customize this rustic chic door draft stopper with your own message and keep the cold outside! While it’s warm inside and you’re thinking of spring, work up our Spring Bouquet Floral Embroidery Pattern. This is the perfect project for anyone new to embroidery, and makes for a relaxing project for sewists of all embroidery skill levels. Make it for yourself or as a gift!
Our Best Sewing Patterns of 2024 is packed with inspiration for your next sewing project.
