Dear Sewing Superstar,
Summer’s winding down, and Fall is creeping up behind us, and you know what that means: boo-tiful Halloween-themed projects, comfy & classic wardrobe additions, and creative home décor. The September issue of We Like Sewing has some great projects for wearing…and scaring. Let’s take a look…
Classic Looks
How about a little nostalgia with style? Our Addison Bomber Jacket is an updated version of the classic bomber jacket, complete with varsity-style letter. This black-and-white jacket looks great made in a heavy-duty fabric like wool or tweed. Old-school style is new again with this sporty fall jacket design.
Bookshelf wall hangings are a popular motif, and you can give yours a personal touch with your unique choice of fabrics. The Fully Booked Bookshelf Wall Hanging is a scrapbuster’s dream: stitch up your own little library with what you have in your scrap stash, or pick a custom color/pattern theme for someone special. Want to add some extra detail? Embroider titles onto your books. This wall hanging would make a great gift for a big reader in your family. Here’s to the bookworms!
Spooky Sewing
When Halloween time rolls around, a lot of people head for the costume store. But you can head to the fabric store instead and sew up a costume piece that will last for more than just one night of trick-or-treating. Our Sophisticated Sorcery Velvet Witch Hat pattern comes in two sizes: child and adult (we like costumes, too!). This is one well-designed hat; it’ll hold its shape from one Halloween to the next. So skip the store and get sewing!
Nothing’s as disappointing as having to toss out those temporary Halloween candy bowls. Why not make a dish that can hold up to multiple Halloweens? Our Three Hour Pumpkin Candy Bowl will impress your guests and give you a lovely piece of Halloween décor to add to your seasonal collection.
And while you’re mulling over your candy treat choices for Halloween, treat yourself to some mulled cider and rest your drink on your very own Retro Halloween Mug Rug. This 1920s-inspired pattern features a spooky yet dapper black cat and plenty of Halloween color. Pick some fun Halloween-themed printed fat eighths to create the perfect resting spot for your favorite brew.
And don’t miss our Editor’s Picks, with one more Halloween treat and an early harvest of fall fashion and décor: Jolly Jack-O’-Lantern Cinched Treat Bag, Raspberry Button-Down Blouse, Northeast Chic Oversized Fall Scarf, Coffee to Go Quilted Lapghan, and for dinner, our Midwest Table Runner and Napkins.
The patterns in our September 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 burst of seasonal fun and whimsy to your sewing projects!
You don’t need any expert sewing skills to make any of the projects in our September 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, new, & fun!
