Give a GiftDear Sewing Superstar,
Get ready to dive into some playful summer sewing projects. From beautifully basic to wonderfully whimsical, we have projects that will inspire you and win you compliments. Let’s check out the July issue of We Like Sewing!
Summer Fun
Whether you’re heading for a picnic in the park or getting ready to wade in the water, don’t leave your handy, easy-carry blanket behind. Our Shore Thing Wrap-Up Beach Blanket is made from double faced pre-quilted fabric, making stitching up this blanket a breeze! The pattern includes fabric straps so you can carry your blanket hands-free, and there’s a handy outside pocket where you can tuck in your sunscreen and sunglasses.
It’s fun to change up your indoor décor from season to season, and we have just the project bring a little summer color to your wall. Our Summer Gnome Quilted Wall Hanging is bright and beautiful, with an adorable gnome sporting a layered beard and floppy hat. He’ll look charming on your wall, with his cheerful, beaded yellow flower. Hang him up by your door to greet your guests with some sweet summer whimsy.
Looking Good!
Comfy shorts don’t have to be boring. Our Perry Paper Bag Shorts are casual and sophisticated—from their scalloped hem to their relaxed, elasticized paper bag waist. Dress up a plain summer tee with these chic shorts!
No matter the weather, you’ll be ready, sunshine or rain, with our Chelsea Quilted Bucket Hat. A determined and worthy holdover from the 90s, this bucket hat is the perfect balance of style and utility: it’s canvas on one side for sunny days and ripstop nylon on the flip side for when raindrops start falling on your head. And the look is timeless! This is an Easy-rated pattern that you customize for the wearer, so you’re sure to get a perfect fit.
Combine sewing and jewelry-making, and what do you get? Our stunning Leva Embroidered Floral Fabric Earrings. Mini embroidery hoops showcase a vibrant bouquet of flowers in bright summer colors. Dress up your next casual outfit with these beautiful eye-catching earrings.
