Spring fabrics are wonderful to work with. From classic linens to silk chiffons, the fabrics of spring are a delight to look at and to feel. Make a skirt suit or a pants suit out of a lovely neutral linen or a delightful fuchsia, kiwi, jade, aqua, persimmon, or pistachio linen.

Sew a woman’s blouse or lovely lightweight jacket out of a silk chiffon. Try eyelet for a change of pace. Today’s eyelets come in wide variety of designs and some delightful colors, including aqua, turquoise, baby blue, pink, lime, bright yellow, brown and black.

Eyelet makes sweet little girl’s dresses too. It is also great for curtains, bed ruffles, bedspreads, pillow cases and other home décor items. Hem a long rectangle of eyelet on all four sides and you have a pretty dresser scarf or table runner.
