Dear Sewing Superstar,
Warmer weather puts us in a picnic frame of mind. We’ve put together the ultimate set of picnic patterns for you—for carrying, serving and seating in your favorite picnic place. Sew one or sew all — and savor the joy of a custom-catered picnic ensemble!
When you go to the market to get your picnic supplies, don’t forget your reusable bag. Our Peachy Keen Foldable Farmers Market Tote is always ready to help you carry whatever you need. It even has its own built-in zip-up bag! Make a few of these and keep them on hand for when you need a little extra carrying space. And by the way, these bags make great gifts! Make a few at a time to build up your gift stash.
Then gather up some of your bigger fabric scraps and make our Ants Go Marching Scrappy Picnic Blanket so you’re ready for your next picnic outing. You’ll love the playful and practical details—from the big blocky ant to the zippered pouch to store picnic essentials! Perfect for beginning quilters, this project provides plenty of opportunities to try out different sewing techniques.
Set out your picnic spread in style with a pair of elegant springtime-themed placemats. Our Spring Daffodils Placemat Set features a pitcher filled to overflowing with cheerful daffodils. Make these placemats with fat quarters and fat eights, and get ready to do some free motion embroidery to add detail to your bold bouquet. You could save these placemats for your kitchen table, but just think how cute they’ll be on your picnic — just roll them up with your Ants Go Marching Scrappy Picnic Blanket!
And while you’re out on your picnic, you can sit back and enjoy the fresh spring air. After a delicious picnic lunch, you may decide to take a little walk in the woods — but don’t go empty-handed. Take our Forest Foraging Basket with you. This sweet country basket has a canvas exterior that’s perfect for gathering tiny treasures on your walk in the woods. Customize your basket with a canvas print that suits you. This basket pattern is really versatile; style it your way, from cottagecore to picnic chic!
Any of these patterns would make a great ingredient for your next picnic. Why not make them all and have the perfect picnic set — ants and all!
