Dear Sewing Superstar,
Summer’s a fine time for celebration — holidays, weddings, birthdays & more. It’s time to get ready for Summer guests, Summer style, & Summer fun! The June issue of We Like Sewing has projects from dressy to down-home. Let’s take a look…
Great Summer Style
Treat yourself to a new fancy dress, perfect for special occasions. Our Avery Butterfly Sleeve Dress is all feminine flow, from the lovely sleeves to the striking lace insets. This on-trend dress features a dropped waist; a back zipper gives you a smooth silhouette.
Warm weather calls for some fun and flirty casual clothes. Our Heartbreaker Cropped Babydoll Top has it all — flowing fabric with lovely lines that move with you when you walk. Dress up a pair of jeans with an adorable top that’s sure to turn heads!
Pair your flirty top with the understated elegance of our Summer on the Cape Over-the-Shoulder Bag. Raffia straw gives this bag great visual interest, and it’s roomy enough to keep your essentials handy all day long. A simple metal chain makes the straps light and airy so you can breeze through your day.
For the Everyday and Special Days
Let’s keep in mind that simple storage can still be stylish. From grandads to grandkids, our Colorful Everyday Dad Bag is the perfect little bag to hold whatever they need. Organize tools, toys, travel items & more in this retro-style folding bag with a sturdy strap and clip. Customize the colors for a great personalized gift!
Summer is certainly wedding season. You can treat a bride and groom to a special gift for the wedding ceremony. Our Romantic Ribbon Weaving Ring Bearer Pillow is a sweet sentimental keepsake you can create with simple ribbon weaving. Make it in classic white, or weave the wedding colors into this adorable wedding accessory.
Celebrate the 4th of July retro style with a bold, bright, and reusable banner. Our Retro 4th of July Bunting takes its inspiration from traditional patriotic designs and is made with classic crisp cotton. Why put up a plastic banner when you can craft one yourself?
You’ll be seeing stars when you quilt up our Independence Day Star Table Mat. Beautiful batik fabric gives this Fourth of July themed quilting project a contemporary feel. Use just one paper piecing pattern to create this stunning star design.
Home Style
We can’t really have too many throw pillows, can we? Well, you can’t go wrong with the one-of-a-kind pillow you create with our Floral Splendor Quilted Throw Pillow pattern. Use fat quarters to create this pillow using both quilting and applique techniques to expand or build on your skill set. Add your own embroidery details to give the pillow some extra texture, and you have a charming throw pillow for your sofa. This project is great for scrapbusting!
Raise your hands if you’ve never misplaced your pins. Me, all the time. Now, not all pins are perfect for every project, so why not have a special place for your special pins? All you need to make our Shades of Violet Flower Pincushion is a few pieces of felt and some basic hand sewing skills. In just a few hours, you’ll have an adorable addition to what will certainly become your growing pincushion collection!
Give your planters an easy makeover with our Folksy Fat Quarter Plant Cozy. Transform your basic planter pots with these boho-inspired cozies that use fat eighths, fat quarters, and even fabric scraps to make unique planter wraps to show off your plants.
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 add a splash of fun and fashion to your sewing projects!
No expert sewing skills are required to make any of the projects in our June Issue. Each pattern in this issue includes a detailed template, pattern notes, and a complete list of the tools and materials you need to succeed. Get ready to sew up something fresh and new!
