Who else is rejoicing the fact that
autumn is here? Summer activities tend
to eat into quality time with our sewing
machine – and so the turn of the season
is very welcome. If you’ve had a busy few
months, sit back and take in all of the
stitchy goodness we’re bringing you this
issue. Your FREE Simplicity pattern offers four top styles
to make up in sizes 4-26 – perfect for sewing with the
upcoming festivities in mind.
This issue, we also have other staple pieces to build your
wardrobe - find a no-pattern blouse (p18) and waist-tie
dress (p26), or get winter-ready with our zip-front skirt
(p41), unlined coat (p22) and boatneck top (p38). If you’re
thinking of getting ahead on Christmas presents, why not
make another for a loved one – for a truly touching gift?
Talking of presents, you’ll find gift ideas galore this
month – our elf toy (p69) and Santa towel (p68) are perfect
for youngsters, whilst the Liberty kitties (p54) and easy
embroidery hoop (p62) are sure to delight. Our fabric
wreath (p57), cute mice (p56) and patchwork coasters
(p58) work in any fabric – festive or not – personalised to
your recipient. Your bonus 20-page Christmas Stitch Book
will also help you have your craftiest Christmas yet, with
lots of last-min makes too!
Here at Sew HQ , we do our best to support the stitchy
community in any way we can – so please join us on Sew
Saturday coming up on 21st October, simply by turning up
to your local sewing shop. Stores all over the country will
be holding a special event, so it’s easy to take part!
Happy sewing!
