We Like Sewing has featured my pumpkin-shaped fabric treat bowl on the cover!

We Like Sewing magazine has featured my Woodland Cottage Playhouse Pillow in this month’s spring issue. This fun throw pillow has lots of details to sew, as it opens up to reveal a dollhouse inside, complete with pocket beds, a sofa, a kitchen with doors that open, and of course, a set of dolls with flower hats.

We Like Sewing magazine has graciously published my Lucky Shamrock and Clover Coasters patterns. Since these felt coasters are quick and easy to make, there’s still plenty of time to sew them before St. Patrick’s Day.

This sweet love letter won’t disappear like flowers or chocolates, because it’s a decorative throw pillow. The fleece envelope unbuttons to reveal a heart-covered pillow, with a pocket where you can hide little love notes.

Thank you to We Like Sewing for the adorable photo!

This flannel Leopard Winter Warmer that I got to design for We Like Sewing is stuffed with rice, so you can microwave it for a soothing, warm neck or shoulder wrap.

My kawaii inspired fall bunting is on the cover of the September issue of We Like Sewing!

As always, I had so much fun designing the patterns for this simple felt project. I love the way it looks on the mini tree.

We Like Sewing magazine just published my “Sure to Bring a Smile Emoji Lip Balm Cases.”

These are fun and quick to make. Working on them definitely made me smile!

This month, I’ve got not one but two new articles in We Like Sewing magazine! Both of these are fun projects for summer, but they are very different types of sewing.

First up is a pair of patriotic pennants:

These are felt, with mostly hand-sewn appliques and some simple embroidery.

The second summer project is freeze pop cozies. The fleece and cotton covers keep kids’ hands warm while holding ice pops, and are super quick to sew by machine.

Have fun doing some summer sewing!

We Like Sewing’s May issue features patterns and instructions for my spiral snail! I used to doodle snails like this many years ago in school, and I’m so happy to have finally turned him into a stuffed animal.

We Like Sewing magazine just published my Donut Worry Fabric Bowl Covers. These fun fabric bowl covers look like donuts on top and come in three different sizes. You can make them reversible with a fun print, or use a nylon lining to make them quick to wipe down.
