Dear Sewing Superstar,
Pastels prevail in the April issue of We Like Sewing. From a dreamy dress to a soft little lovey, pick a project for yourself, your home, and your loved ones.
Spring Style

I’ve lost count of how many dressy occasions I’m going to this Spring, and likely into the Summer. If your social calendar is starting to fill up, sew something lovely ahead of time, like our Nanette Organza Spring Dress. This mini dress will be a head-turner at your next fancy event, with its sweet puff sleeves and romantic flowing fabric. Want a more streamlined silhouette? Add a belt. Either way, you’re going to look stunning!
Add an extra splash of color and a lovely layer for special occasions or just plain fun! Our Allegra Satin Ruched Headband looks sweet in satin, with a stylish ruched front detail for that Wow! pop of color, and an easy-fitting elastic back to make it comfy.
Dip into your fabric stash and decide how you’ll use our Libby Dresden Plate Zipper Pouch. Customize this stylish bag with its Dresden plate motif to carry as a lightweight warm-weather clutch. Or use this zipper pouch as a makeup bag, or to carry some of your sewing supplies when you take smaller projects with you.
Gifts You’ll Love To Make

Little ones love their snugglies. Make a little someone special our adorable Cheerful Butterfly Lovey. Soft fabrics like minky and anti-pill fleece make this adorable lovey so super snuggly! Older girls will appreciate a special handmade quilt for their dolls. Our Wild Orchid Scrappy Doll Quilt is a fabulous scrapbusting project. Or use fat eights and fat quarters in a custom color palette. Either way, be ready for big smiles!
