Spring is that tricky season when you're constantly adding and removing layers as temperatures shift throughout the day. Today, I'm sharing 10 patterns that are not only perfect for transitional weather but can each be sewn in a single day.
I'll walk you through all my favorite spring patterns, I've carefully chosen these patterns to give you a mix of woven and knit options.
Let's dive into these quick-sew patterns that will transform your spring wardrobe.
1. Dara
The Dara blouse holds a special place in my heart – it was one of my favorite makes from last spring, and it combines speed with style. The gathered neckline and raglan sleeves create a beautifully romantic silhouette that works with so many different fabrics. I made mine in a lightweight Robert Kaufman cotton lawn, but it's equally stunning in Liberty florals or cotton eyelet.
2. Meadow
The Meadow blouse proves that sometimes one perfect detail is all you need. Its dramatic ruffle collar elevates a simple silhouette into something truly special. I love how it layers under sweaters with just the ruffle peeking out – perfect for those chilly spring mornings.
3. Madhu
The Madhu blouse might become your new spring favorite. With raglan sleeves for easy construction and elastic finishes creating beautiful gathering, it's both comfortable and pretty. I particularly recommend double gauze or seersucker – their natural texture complements the gathered details beautifully.
4. Kit
The Kit blouse proves that sometimes the simplest designs can be the most beautiful. What I love about Kit is how it combines ease of sewing (it's a pull-on style) with thoughtful details like soft gathers below the yoke and elastic sleeve hems that add just the right amount of drama. The genius back tie lets you adjust the fit depending on how you're feeling—perfect for those days when comfort is key .
5. Finn
If you live in t-shirts like I do, you'll love the Finn raglan tee. Those raglan sleeves aren't just comfortable—they're an opportunity to get creative with contrast fabrics. I'm currently planning one with bright floral sleeves for spring! The three-quarter length sleeve version is my go-to for layering.
6. Goldie
The Goldie top — a true showstopper. You can make in about two hours! The sweetheart neckline with elastic gathering feels so feminine and flattering. I recently made one in a black floral rib knit, and it's become an instant favorite. If you're worried about spring chills, try adding a silk scarf for both warmth and style.
7. Mina
Remember those 90s babydoll dresses? The Mina dress is my modern take on that beloved style. Available as both a dress and a peplum top, it features beautiful pleated waist details without any complicated closures to slow you down.
8. Milo
The Milo cardigan is essential for spring's temperature shifts. It works with various knit fabrics, from ponte to French terry, as long as they have at least 30% stretch.
9. Lucy
The Lucy jumpsuit falls firmly into the "secret pajamas" category. I made mine in a bold black and white check years ago, and it's still a favorite. Layer it over a turtleneck on cool days or wear it alone when temperatures rise.
10. Meg
Finally, there's the Meg dress — a piece that looks intricate but sews up surprisingly quickly. The elastic waist creates beautiful shaping, while flutter sleeves add romantic detail. It's perfect for transitional weather; just add tights and a cardigan on cooler days.
