Summer Embroidery Project Ideas
Summer has already started. You may find yourself at home a lot more this year, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to take a break from the usual hum of life. Whether you are actually getting to go away for a vacation, or you have a staycation planned, these summery embroidery patterns and kits are a great way to plan a little creative escape and take time for self-care in this season.
Embroidery is an art that uses an embroidery hoop, thread, and a needle to create marvelous images. Embroidery designs have a huge number of variations when it comes to decoration. From pillowcases and bibs to wall décor, you’re going to love how versatile these patterns are and what you can create from them.
Here are some summer embroidery projects to embark on this season:
1. Vibrant Sunflower Embroidery Hoop
Nothing says ‘summer more than flowers – sunflowers most of all! Dedicate your next home sewing project to this beautiful sunflower embroidery hoop, which could easily take pride of place anywhere in your home. They can also be easily personalized and make fabulous gifts for any summer baby in your life.
2. Beach or Picnic Blanket
Sewing a nice cover blanket for your next picnic or trip to the beach is a breeze; but why not add corner pockets to hold your important items like sunscreen, keys, or your cell phone? You can either use an oversized towel as a blanket base or sew your own with a few layers of fabric to keep moisture and sand from penetrating your sitting area. Make sure to include bias tape or grosgrain ribbon around the edges to seal the blanket and create a nice contrasting border.
3. Jean customization
If you’re someone in the process of mastering sewing skills and garment making, be sure to include this fruity jean embroidery on your list. Though the link above shows strawberries, you can customize your jeans with any fruit you want! It’s sure to be a positive topic of conversation for anyone you stop to chat with – and a point of envy, of course!
4. Color-Block Geometric Sun-dress
Fun geometric shapes in bright summery colors can keep your wardrobe hot while you stay cool. This dress incorporates both elements in a free-to-use pattern that’s as easy as it is breezy. Built in a knit fabric, this dress will also make the perfect cover-up for a day at the beach. Best of all: it has pockets!
5. Beachy Pillow-Covers
Bring the feeling of a day at the beach home without tracking sand everywhere. Cases for your throw pillows are a great way to integrate seasonal excitement into your decorating without having to store bulky or necessary accouterments during the off-season. Custom-sew cases to fit pillows you already have in a variety of beach and summer-themed nautical fabrics/prints. Stripes, anchors, or classic Hawaiian print are all great summer choices.
End Words
Once the summer comes, it becomes the time to get the patio furniture out of hiding and gather some fun outdoor embroidery projects to jazz up your deck decor.
