Summer Has Officially Arrived
You know what that means: the season of sunshine, iced tea, and guilt-free fabric shopping is upon us. The days are longer, the vibe is lighter, and there’s something about the smell of sunscreen and the hum of a sewing machine that just feels right. If your creativity has been hibernating under a pile of winter WIPs, consider this your sign to shake off the dust and dive into something bold and new. After all, nothing wakes up a sewing rut like a blast of color and a fresh stack of fabric that makes your heart beat just a little faster.
We’ve rounded up five stunning collections to help you kick off your summer sewing in style. Grab your rotary cutter! It’s going to be a beautiful season!
Studio Edit by Heather Ross
Her soft palette and signature whimsical illustrations bring a nostalgic charm with a modern, effortless feel. These prints are the fabric equivalent of a cozy storybook read under a patchwork quilt. Think bicycles, florals, and playful characters with just enough whimsy to make you smile mid-seam. Whether you're sewing a tote bag for weekend farmers markets or whipping up a baby quilt for that shower you forgot is next weekend, Studio Edit pairs best with simple patterns that let the art do the talking.
Butterfly Fantasy by Jason Yenter
This collection is a kaleidoscope exploded (in the best way). Vibrant butterflies dance among stunning florals and each fabric feels like it’s in motion. It’s bold, magical, and practically flutters off the shelf and onto your cutting table. If you’ve been itching to try fussy cutting or want to make a quilt that doubles as wall art, this is your moment. Perfect for adventurous quilters who aren’t afraid of saturated color and a bit of drama. Butterfly Fantasy delivers big on visual impact.
Full Moon Forest by Tula Pink
A reimagining of her beloved classic line, this updated version takes her iconic woodland creatures and dials the saturation up to eleven. We’re talking neon owls, jewel-toned monkeys, and rabbits with attitude. There’s no such thing as too much when it comes to Tula, and this collection is proof. If your summer sewing goal is to finally tackle that epic, award-worthy quilt, Full Moon Forest is your fearless companion. Warning: side effects may include sudden bursts of joy and the need to pet your fabric every five minutes.
Garden Delight by Timeless Treasures
For something on the softer side (but still brimming with personality), "Garden Delight" by Timeless Treasures serves up sweet summer vibes in every print. Picture blooming florals, hummingbirds zooming by, and all the colors of a well-tended garden after a summer rain. This line is perfect for those breezy picnic quilts, cheerful table runners, or lightweight totes you’ll want to bring to every outdoor gathering. It strikes that perfect balance between classic floral beauty and lighthearted fun. Basically, if summer could be stitched, it would look a lot like this.
Color Wheel Day by Alison Glass
And finally, we couldn’t wrap up our summer kickoff without a nod to the queen of color herself, Alison Glass. "Color Wheel Day" is a feast for the eyes. A radiant, modern collection filled with saturated hues and versatile blender prints that play well with everything. Whether you’re diving into improv piecing, mixing in leftovers from past projects, or just want a color explosion to chase away any lingering winter gray, this collection brings the sunshine. It’s like a painter’s palette in fabric form, and it will absolutely spark your next creative adventure.
