Editor’s Note April 2026

Caitlin Eaton

April is the perfect time to refresh your sewing queue with projects that feel light, playful and full of possibility. In this issue of We Like Sewing, we’re embracing soft fabrics, romantic details, and accessories that add just the right finishing touch for the season ahead.

For standout spring style, you’ll love Aishat Sulaiman’s Nanette Organza Dress, a dreamy design with airy volume and versatile styling options. If you’re in the mood for something equally chic but more casual, our Editor’s Pick, the Primrose Shirred Dress, offers comfort and elegance in one easy-to-wear silhouette. Accessories also take center stage this month, from the on-trend Allegra Satin Ruched Headband to the Libby Dresden Plate Zipper Pouch, a perfect project for showing off your favorite fabric scraps.

We haven’t forgotten about heartfelt, handmade gifts, either. The Cheerful Butterfly Lovey is a sweet project for little ones, while the Wild Orchid Scrappy Doll Quilt makes a charming companion piece for any favorite doll. These smaller makes are perfect for using what you have on hand while creating something truly special.

Whether you’re sewing for your wardrobe, your home, or someone you love, we hope this issue inspires you to celebrate the season with creativity and color.

Happy sewing,
