The whole point of the sweater and shirt combo (apart
from looking preppy-chic) is being able to remove the
knitwear when it’s hot – so don’t leave yourself with a
boring blouse underneath! With a great choice of sleeve
and hem lengths, as well as options for the front and neck
bands, yoke and collar, this pattern offers both comfort
and a choice of styles. New Look 6266,
£6.95, simplicitynewlook.com

We couldn’t bee more pleased
about Stuart Hillard’s first fabric
collection and so there’s a real buzz
in Sew HQ about it... If you’ve had
enough of our puns, you can read
more from Stuart himself on p55 and find the
range on Create and Craft TV and at Hobbycraft.
