March is a great time of transition as we look forward to longer days (does that mean more time for sewing and quilting projects?). Whether you favor bright and bold colors or prefer pastels, we have a wonderful collection of colorful projects for you, the youngest in your circle, and even a little something for our four-footed friends in our March Issue of We Like Sewing.
Traditional baby quilts often come in soft, pale, so-called “baby colors.” Break with tradition and start your own with our bold and colorful Colorburst Trip Around the World Quilt. This baby quilt is the perfect project for a beginning quilter, with its simple fabric squares. The real magic happens with the fabric choice and the color placement.
Nothing says Spring quite like gingham. Make our Classic Gingham Baby Dress in basic black and white for a beautiful baby dress you can dress up with ribbon or lace trim. A perfect outfit for Sunday brunch, this spring dress pattern features a fully lined bodice and comes in three sizes (3, 6, and 12 months).
Remember to take some time for yourself while you’re sewing. Make a lovely piece to transition into the warmer days of Spring. You’ll love our Daybreak Spring Boho Top, with its flirty, flouncy sleeves and peplum. This pattern will be a breeze for advanced beginners and beyond.
Beginning quilters will love the variety and options in our Rose Quartz Pinwheel Quilt Block. Pinwheels are a standard style in quilting, so it’s great practice to work on this pattern. We give you guidelines for four different pinwheels: the basic windmill, the turnstile block, the classic pinwheel, and—just for fun!—a pinwheel variation. You’ve got the beginnings of a great quilt right here!
With Easter just around the corner, maybe it’s time to make a new Easter basket for someone special. Get your fabric together and make our Some Bunny Loves You Easter Basket in a weekend. This basket has a sturdy carrying handle, cute floppy ears, and a cheerful hand-embroidered and appliqued face. This is a basket that will last for years!
Don’t forget about your furry friends! As the weather warms and trees start to leaf out, what better way to celebrate spring than with some new dog-walking gear? Our Paw-sitively Gorgeous Dog Collar Set will set your pet apart on your walks. This whimsical set includes a leash, a collar, and that all-important dog-walking accessory: the bag holder. Play with some bold, bright springtime prints and webbing and pick the perfect hardware to match. Get ready for compliments on your one-of-a-kind pet set!
The patterns in our March 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 brighten your day, your wardrobe, and your home! Let’s celebrate Spring!
