November is prime time for holiday preparation and fun, stylish wardrobe and accessory updates. At Mequoda Publishing Network we are all about gearing up for the holidays and creating something new. Here is a great chance to make something special for your home or a dazzling accessory to take to a holiday party. We have some fun, cozy, stylish projects to wear and share in the November Issue of We Like Sewing!
Fall is a great time for some fun style. Feel cozy and look super chic in our Astoria Cowl Neck Dress. Perfect for a day out walking in the park or window shopping in town, this dress features a drapey cowl neck and a loose, flowy fit — great for dancing, too! Not sure what to wear with it? Pair it with leggings or tights with your favorite boots, and you’re set for the day!
We all have a little black dress in reserve for planned or spontaneous get-togethers. The beauty of the LBD is its versatility; you can accessorize it any way you like. Feeling adventurous? Steal the spotlight with the stunning Ruby Paillette Evening Bag. Spangly ruby red paillettes make a bold, festive statement that will have people asking you whose designer bag you’re carrying (Mary Beth Temple’s). Put your sewing skills to the test and make this fabulous bag for yourself!
The rich colors of autumn and the brisk air are inspiration for quilt-making. Create a rich, warm, colorful quilt splashed with wonky stars in whatever size you need — from crib to queen! Our Smokey Skies Wonky Star Irish Chain Quilt combines easy chain blocks with exuberant stars for a bold, beautiful design. Measurements for multiple sizes are included.
Holidays are just around the corner, but there’s still time to create something new for hearth and home. Our Bay Laurel Appliqué Holiday Napkins project is perfect for advanced beginners who want to add a personal touch to the holiday table. Bay laurel and bow motifs transform plain fabric napkins into elegant additions to the place settings, finished with French knots and decorative stars.
The countdown to Christmas has already begun, so now’s a good time to make a festive quilted Advent calendar. Our Countdown to Christmas Quilted Advent Calendar features a cheerful background of traditional red and white gingham, with little pockets to to hold sweet treats or tiny treasures. Children will treasure this quilt project for years to come.
Spread holiday cheer with our Comfort and Joy Christmas Banner. This is a great way to show off your hand sewing skills, incorporating precious woodland creatures like deer, squirrels, and foxes. Best of all? This project is designed to be worked one piece at a time — perfect for taking on the go!
Expand your sewing skills, freshen up your décor, treat yourself to something new. There’s plenty to choose from in the November Issue of We Like Sewing!
