VERSION: SEWING

Download includes retro instructions and patterns for 7 sewing projects!

For creative women spending a day in the garden can be just as splendid as time in the sewing room. Indulge in a bit of both with our new Simple 7 for Summer pattern book. Choosing a favorite project is like trying to pick the prettiest blossom. From vegetables to flower beds, Kimberbell’s signature applique style is endearing. You’ll want to start with the tea towel for your kitchen; then make the Farmers Market Tote or Garden Apron to share with a green-thumbed friend. Try a little straight line quilting on your home sewing machine with the cute Cherries Jubilee Mug Rug. Rest back on the Birdhouse Porch Pillow and enjoy stitching the “Bless My Bloomers” or “I’m not getting old…” designs.

Machine embroidery enthusiasts will love our featured Kimberbell embroidery download that coordinates perfectly with these Simple 7 sewing projects (look for KDVT1008 A Kimberbell Summer, Vol. 2: In the Garden in the Kimberbell Vault!) Hoop sizes are provided with each set of instructions.

If you do not have an embroidery machine, you can still make every project! We’ve included all the applique patterns you will need in this book, using the fusible web applique method and your sewing machine.
