This August/September 2013 edition of Sew Beautiful is focused on sewing for late summer in light, airy fabrics and playful cotton prints. The free pattern, as pictured on the cover, is a sweet, simple and casual two-piece linen set that features a smocked peasant-style top and Capri pant. Also inside, readers will find inspiration for contemporary heirloom dresses from Oliver + S, tasteful warm-weather outfits from The Children's Corner and ideas for sewing matching dress for little girls and their 18\" dolls. A section featuring casual cottons includes tips for sewing perfect Peter Pan collars, how to sew a simple t-shirt dress, a fun bugs picture smocking design and pattern adaptation for adding box pleats and ruffles to some of our favorite summer dress patterns. And for fans of traditional heirloom, embellishment takes center stage in our special fine sewing section with hand and machine embroidery on delicate fabrics such as netting, how to make a unique puffy pocket and a vintage-inspired bluebird embroidery design.
