Savannah Button-Down Sundress Pattern

Dear Sewing Superstar,

Summer is a great time to relax. It’s also a great opportunity to create something new. Here at We Like Sewing, we’ve put together an issue with projects both big and small so you can pick the projects that fit you best!

All the patterns in our July issue of We Like Sewing are rated Easy or Intermediate. That means skill and confidence building for beginning sewists, and relaxing, easy-breezy projects for the more experienced among us. All these projects are sure to add a touch of comfort and style to your summer!

Countryside Cuties

It’s hard to resist the cool comfort of light and flowy summer sundress. And you know there’s no need to head to the store for one when you can tailor one to your specifications! Our Savannah Button-Down Sundress Pattern is a perfect project for advanced beginners. It features a front button placket and princess seams on the bodice. Plus, everyone’s favorite: pockets!

Split and Squared Flower Quilt Pattern

Quilt in Color

You can create a stunning summer quilt using floral precuts and our Split and Squared Flower Quilt Pattern. It’s like creating your own perennial flower garden — one that never needs weeding! This quilt would look great on your bed, your couch, or to brighten up a wall. Colorful quilts like this never go out of season!

Need something smaller to brighten up a space? Make our Sweet as Honey Quilted Wall Hanging using a themed charm pack. The pattern includes a lovely honeycomb design for the blocks, plus instructions to make your own paper pieced honey bee. Time to get busy!

Morning Regatta Quilted Throw Pillow

And for an easy, breezy throw pillow design, go nautical with our Morning Regatta Quilted Throw Pillow. The pattern features two boat designs plus an envelope back, so you can spend more time relaxing with your morning coffee.
