Give a Gift
Winter may still be in full swing, but this February issue is all about welcoming spring with colorful, playful and wearable projects. Start by building a core spring wardrobe with Lauren Merciris’ Elena Henley Long Sleeve Top, a classic Henley in soft mint green, complete with a button placket and eye-catching coordinating buttons. Add whimsy to everyday items with Jennifer Carson’s Hedgehog in the Flowers embroidery pattern for jeans, jackets or bags, or create three tiny, hand-embroidered designs with Stephanie Woodson’s Pin Pals Buttons.
Valentine’s Day brings opportunities for sweet, heart-themed sewing, from Mallory Hill’s Reverse Applique Valentine’s Day Pillow to Sophie Tarrant’s Heart-to-Heart Quilted Oven Mitt, a charming gift idea for loved ones. Keep your spring wardrobe fresh with Kimberly Payne’s Primrose Shirred Dress, a breezy tiered maxi perfect for warmer days or add a retro touch with Quayln Stark’s Winter White Classic Wool Beret and Coming Up Roses bag.
No matter where you begin, this issue is packed full of inspiration to brighten the last days of winter and get you ready for spring.
