Sewing World Magazine - January 2018

In this issue

Start off the New Year with the January issue of Sewing World – packed full of must-sew projects. Our new Capsule Wardrobe dressmaking series starts off with the Boat Neck Top - a simple and stylish garment that can be worn as an everyday, casual item - make in smart fabric for workwear or dress up for evening attire. Add some cheer to your wardrobe with the Riverboat Skirt - a bright and sassy skirt that will take you from winter to spring, complete with floral embroidered patch pockets. To co-ordinate with your garments we have two bag projects, the Reflected Handbag is designed by Art Gallery Fabrics founder, Pat Bravo and Minki Kim shows us how to make a sturdy quilted Tote Bag. For those who fancy a little patchwork, try the Tilda Heritage Harvest Quilt which uses cuddle fleece to make a snuggly, raggy-seamed quilt and the Candy Shop Sewing Accessories celebrate Oakshott’s new fabric collections to make five beautiful sewing accessories. We continue our sewing journey with Elizabeth Healey, this month looking at reverse appliqué. Mr X Stitch is blown away by the machine embroidered art of Carol Shinn and Kerry Green looks at indie designer maternity patterns.
