Your Spring Sewing Guide: Gauze, Skirts & Organic Fabric Projects

 

Hello, Spring Sewing Season!

Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start—with your wardrobe, your sewing space, and your creativity. Whether you're a seasoned sewist or just picking up your first pattern, this guide has everything you need to get inspired.

From dreamy double gauze to the ever-versatile Estuary Skirt, we’re sharing our favorite fabrics, patterns, and projects to help you make the most of this season.

 

What is Double Gauze Fabric?

Double gauze is a lightweight, breathable fabric made from two layers of gauze that are invisibly stitched together. It has a soft, slightly crinkled texture and is a favorite among sewists for warm-weather garments and cozy baby makes.

    Why we love it:

• • Super breathable and comfy

• • Softens with each wash

• • Drapes beautifully

• • Easy to wear, easy to love

Want to try it? We love our Solid Honey Double Gauze—a golden, sunshiney hue that’s perfect for skirts, tops, baby blankets, and more.

               Sewing Tip: Use a walking foot and prewash your fabric—gauze can shift a bit while sewing!

 

The Estuary Skirt by Sew Liberated

Looking for the perfect skirt pattern? Meet the Estuary Skirt by Sew Liberated—a flowy, flattering, and practical pattern that works for sewists of all skill levels.

    Why we love it:

• • Beginner-friendly and incredibly wearable

• • Elastic back + button front = comfort + style

• • Works with gauze, poplin, linen, and even canvas

• • Yes, it has pockets!

                        Pair it with double gauze for an airy spring look or use Birch Organic Poplin for a more structured vibe.
