Our Patterns

As longtime sewists ourselves, we understand the time, care, and investment that go into every project. And as designers, we know that a well-crafted pattern can make all the difference—not just in the final result, but in how much you enjoy the journey along the way.

That’s why each of our patterns features clear, professional-quality graphics, thoughtfully written instructions, layout guides, and even printable coloring pages to help you plan your palette with ease.

Every pattern is carefully edited, thoroughly tested, and fully supported. We offer ongoing resources like a corrections page, community engagement through social media, and a growing online gallery full of inspiration.

 

Our Story

The story of The June Thimble began with a serendipitous meeting—two moms, strangers at the time, chatting while our kids played at a local Ohio playground. A shared love for sewing quickly turned into a friendship, and before long, a business was born.

With decades of combined experience in quilting, apparel, and upholstery, we bring both skill and heart to every project. Through The June Thimble, we’re honored to support quilters both new and experienced, celebrate the joy of making by hand, and help keep the spirit of heritage craft alive.

About Rebecca

I've been a maker my whole life, and rarely content to simply follow directions. (Or use them at all!) So it was no surprise when I discovered quilting through a dear work friend that I was designing my own within the year and launching RebaLeigh Handmade, the quilt pattern brand that The June Thimble was born from.

When I'm not sewing, I'm currently home with two little girls while I take a break from working as a hospital pharmacist. The girls and I bike everywhere we can, when we can. My husband and I share a love of an outdoor lifestyle we fostered during college and a decade in Colorado. Now, we enjoy taking our kids tent camping in the wet and leafy Midwest, loving nature all over again on their scale.

 

About Cait

My grandmother taught me to sew when I was five on her old Pfaff. It was the beginning of a life long love affair with sewing and also with old sewing machines. After spending four years in college getting a degree that I could support myself with, I decided to throw that degree and caution to the wind and try to make a career out of what had up till then been just a hobby. Over the subsequent decade plus of making that my career I have sewn, patterned and/ or designed for everything from couture lingerie to the circus and even upholstery. 

Now you can find me living and loving life in the Midwest with my husband, two kids, and herd of orange tabby cats. I sew daily, mostly for myself with a bit of commission thrown in to keep things interesting. I still have a love of old machines - I have 3 over the age of 80 that are all in perfect working condition. And will tackle any project thrown my way, I love to learn new things!
