For the Home

Wear it!

Accessorize

Whether you’re dreaming of vibrant citrus prints, whimsical motifs, or zesty embroidery designs, there’s a juicy sewing project waiting just for you!

Not a fan of wearing citrus? No worries! Dive into a citrus-themed home decor project instead. Brighten up your outdoor space with cheerful citrus prints that will make you smile every time you see your patio decor. Or, refresh your indoor space by embroidering cute citrus designs on your towels or stitching up a vibrant citrus print shower curtain. The possibilities are as endless as a lemon grove on a sunny day!

Embroidery

There are countless ways to infuse your sewing projects with citrusy goodness, but embroidery is hands down one of our faves! Imagine using vibrant citrus-colored threads or stitching up a delightful citrus pattern on your latest creation. Plus, you can let your embroidery machine work its magic while you tackle other projects (unless, of course, you love watching it in action as much as we do!).

Let’s dive into some design ideas…

Cheer’s to Summer!

Get ready to shake things up! Stitch these classic cocktail embroidery designs from our Sip and Stitch Embroidery Design Collection onto bar towels or pillows, just like Meg did for her fabulous Style Revive episode.

Spice up your wardrobe by adding a citrus design to a garment pattern! The yoke on our Agave Dress and Blouse is an absolute dream for showcasing a fabulous citrus embroidery. It’s like giving your outfit a refreshing squeeze of style and zest!

It’s All About the Fabric

The easiest way to embrace a citrus-themed sewing summer is with vibrant citrus-printed fabric. Enjoy exploring the fabric store, hunting for prints that perfectly match your style—whether it’s a rainbow of citrus colors or a focus on zesty yellows, tangy oranges, or fresh greens. Don’t forget to swing by the thrift store too—those citrus-printed tablecloths can be transformed into fabulous upcycled sewing projects. Happy stitching, and may your summer be filled with citrusy fun!

Here are some lovely citrus fabrics you can shop…

Meg used lime-printed fabric to whip up a party skirt for her annual summer margarita party here. And guess what? She’s even whipped up a matching top because when life gives you extra lime fabric… you make a matching top!

Her skirt pattern was our Vintagely Skirt sewing pattern (free download) from our Sew Quick & Easy Volume 2 collection. You can watch Meg stitch together the skirt here.

Nothing says summer quite like a skirt, and our Freshly Squeezed Swing Skirt is the perfect pattern to showcase your vibrant citrus fabric. It’s breezy, fun, and absolutely bursting with sunny charm!

Quilt it!

Another fantastic way to infuse citrus into your summer sewing is through quilting. Grab your ruler, rotary cutter, batting, and fabric scraps to stitch up a summertime masterpiece like this cheerful table runner. Or, if you’re feeling ambitious (and already have a summer wardrobe bursting with citrus flair), go for a full-blown quilt! It’s a delightful way to add a splash of sunny charm to your home.

Whether you’re creating vibrant clothing, refreshing home decor, or playful accessories, the zesty patterns and cheerful colors of citrus themes will infuse your creations with a burst of sunshine. Try some citrus in your next project.

Happy Sewing!
