Dear Sewing Superstar,
Summer’s calling, and we’re answering with some super summer accessories and fun projects to make and take with you on your summer adventures. Here’s a peek inside the June Issue of We Like Sewing!
Chic Patterns for Every Summer Occasion
One of the things I love about sewing is that for some things, you don’t need a store-bought pattern. In fact, sometimes you don’t need a pattern at all! Get past your fear of sewing freestyle with this terrific tutorial to create the Bailey Striped Babydoll Top. You’ll love the A-line silhouette and the easy approach to tailoring this top to your size and shape.
Crossbody bags are convenient and stylish. Make one to suit your style with the Blushing Pink Crossbody Sling Bag Pattern. This unisex bag looks small but it can carry more than you might imagine. Customize it in your favorite color combinations. Don’t leave the house without it!
A day at the beach inevitably means you’ll have some wet clothes and towels to bring home. Tote them in style and convenience with our Cute Coastal Bucket-Style Wet Bag. This beginner-friendly pattern is a great alternative to single-use plastic bags..
Star-Spangled Fun
Show off your Fourth of July spirit with our festive and playful Go Fourth Patriotic Pennants. You can finish this Easy-rated project in just a few hours and have these cute decorations ready for the picnic or parade. The attached casing makes it easy to display your pennants on a dowel for display. Or string them for some fun hanging holiday decorations!
You can also show off your American spirit with our Americana Carpenter Star Quilt Block. Made with half yards of red, white, and blue, this eye-catching quilt design would look lovely as a quilt, throw pillow, or as a patriotic decoration. Stretch your quilting skills and add this classic block pattern to your quilting repertoire.
Summertime Stitching
When I was a kid, we loved it when it was time for freeze pops—but we didn’t love how cold our hands got. Well, problem solved: Summer Fun Freeze Pop Cozies! Keep little hands warm (and maybe not so sticky!) with this kid-approved pattern. A double layer of fleece on the inside helps manage the mess, and your choice of cheerful printed fabric sets the fun summer tone. This is an Easy-rated pattern, and you need just a quarter yard of fabric to make four freeze pop cozies!
Let your next baby quilt take a walk on the wild side. Perfect for beginning quilters and beyond, the Serpentine Baby Quilt features a whimsical coiled snake design in beautiful batik fabric to create a stunning quilt that’s anything but ordinary!
Make it Yours
When you sew something special for someone, wouldn’t you like to have an easy way to remind them that it’s made with love just for them? You could use commercially-made “Made By” labels—or you could get creative and craft your own unique signature label! We’ll help you get started with 5 Creative Ways to Make Your Own Fabric Labels. From fun fabric scraps to secrets in the selvage edge, you’ll find creative inspiration to make your mark on your handmade projects!
The patterns in our June Issue of We Like Sewing range from Easy to Experienced. That means skill and confidence building for beginning sewists, and interesting challenges for the more experienced among us. All these projects are designed to brighten your day and add more happiness to your home!
