It’s getting hot- summer sewing it here! Here is a roundup of roundups, full to the brim of pattern inspiration!

Sleepwear!
Every summer I start to think about sleepwear. Lots of crisp cotton robes, and piped traditional PJs thoughts.

If you’re looking for PJs and robe pattern inspiration, here on the ChCh sews blog we’ve got Loungeables roundup, Sleepwear roundup, Giftables roundup (includes a list of robe patterns)

Aprons!
What better way to do as little laundry as possible than having an Apron to protect your me-mades (or someone else’s)! Roundup of patterns (including many free options) here.

More shirts roundups?

Your new bag?
What could be a better palate cleanser that a project which doesn’t need any ‘fitting’?!

Check out Sewing for the Outdoors (lots of free practical bags), Bags to Sew, the ChCh sews pie carrier bag, Sewing Gifts for Men, Scrap-busting Sewing Patterns, Free giftable projects, and 20 free Christmas Gift patterns.

It’s best to stay sun smart, because ‘no hat, no play’! Find a roundup of hat sewing patterns here.
