Infuse Your Sewing Projects with Citrus Themes
Imagine a world where your sewing projects are infused with the zest and vibrancy of citrus fruits. Picture a wardrobe adorned with tangy lemon prints, juicy orange embroideries, and lime-green accents that pop. Sewing with citrus fabrics and themes is not only a feast for the eyes but a refreshing burst of creativity that can transform any piece into a summer sensation.
Let’s dive into the juicy details of how you can bring a splash of sunshine and a twist of fun to your sewing endeavours, making every stitch a celebration of citrusy delight. So grab your sewing kit and get ready to sew something sweet and sensational this summer – there is still time!
Citrus-Themed Sewing for the Home
If you are not a fan of wearing citrus motifs, 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!
Wear It!
Spice up your wardrobe by adding citrus designs to your garment patterns. The yoke on our Agave Dress and Blouse is an absolute dream for showcasing fabulous citrus embroidery. It’s like giving your outfit a refreshing squeeze of style and zest. 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!
Accessorize with Citrus
Whether you’re dreaming of vibrant citrus prints, whimsical motifs, or zesty embroidery designs, there’s a juicy sewing project waiting just for you! Dive into creating delightful accessories like bar towels adorned with classic cocktail embroidery designs from our Sip and Stitch Embroidery Design Collection, just like Meg did for her fabulous Style Revive episode.
Elevate Your Fabrics
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 colours 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!

Get Inspired by Meg’s Citrus Projects
Meg used lime-printed fabric to whip up a party skirt for her annual summer margarita party. 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 (available as a free download) from our Sew Quick & Easy Volume 2 collection. You can watch Meg stitch together the skirt and get inspired for your next project.
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 a 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.
