Fall is officially here! While I love donning a sleeveless summer dress, autumn is still my all-time favorite season to dress for. I love sweaters, layering, boots, cute plaid outfits — you name it! With this brand new issue of We Like Sewing, we channeled our love of fall and all things spooky to bring you a festive issue full of fall favorites you'll love to sew. Start with a pre-Halloween celebration and make the most adorable Halloween pillow: the Gone Batty Quilted Throw Pillow. Featuring appliqué letters, skeleton fabric and a cauldron of bats, we can't think of a better pillow to don your sofa this season. In search of more chilling décor? Look no further than the scary-cute Frightfully Frankie Halloween Home Décor project. This charming little Frankenstein is the perfect companion to this year's candy bowl.
