Hey there, fellow sewists! With summer just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about our warm weather wardrobes and summer activities. And what better way to get ready for the season than with some fun and easy sewing patterns? Here are three patterns you absolutely have to try before the heat hits.
- The Sundress
Let’s start with the ultimate summer staple: the sundress. Whether you’re headed to the beach, a picnic in the park, or a backyard barbecue, a sundress is the perfect choice. And the best part? They’re easy to sew and customize to your own style. Try a flowy maxi dress or a shorter, flirty style. Choose a bright, bold print or keep it simple with a classic solid color. Once you sew one sundress, you’ll want to make a whole collection!
Dress it up by using a nice linen or chambray fabric,
or make it more casual with jersey or a fun summer cotton print. Find it on Missouri Star Quilt Co. or by clicking here.

- The High-Waisted Shorts
Next up, we have a classic summer look: high-waisted shorts. These are a must-have in any summer wardrobe. They’re cute, they’re comfortable, and they go with just about everything. Plus, if you make them yourself, you can customize the length, the fabric, and the detailing to make them truly unique. Whether you go for a classic denim look or try something a little more daring, you’ll be glad you added these to your sewing repertoire.
- The Beach Bag
Finally, we can’t forget about the perfect summer accessory: the beach bag. This is the ultimate DIY project for anyone who loves to sew. Not only is it practical for carrying all your beach essentials, but it’s also a fun way to show off your sewing skills. You can choose a simple tote bag style or try something a little more complicated, like a backpack or a bucket bag. And the best part? You can use any fun and colorful fabric you like to make it truly your own.
