Kick summer boredom to the curb this with brand new issue of We Like Sewing featuring six fresh and fun projects for the summer. Start with this issue's cover project: the Sweet as Honey Quilted Wall Hanging. Perfect for adding some charm to any space, this project pairs an adorable summer charm pack with a bee-inspired, honeycomb design. Psst! Can you spot the adorable paper pieced honey bee? But don't stop there: the Morning Regatta Quilted Throw Pillow will add just the right amount of nautical touch to your living room. And the adorable Laundry Day Clothespin Bag is just what you need to feel motivated on laundry days (after you procrastinate by sewing this cute bag, of course)! Feeling eager for the holidays but aren't ready to start making gifts? The State Fair Felt Food Ornaments are a fun way to use up felt scraps and will look adorable on this year's Christmas tree. And my personal favorite: the Savannah Button-Down Sundress! Lightweight and chic, this adorable dress features pockets, a front button placket and princess seams. Make it your own by switching up the fabric selection. It looks great paired with your favorite summer hat.
