Sewing World - October 2017

In this issue

Our October issue of is filled with glowing sewing projects to ease us through the change of seasons. A highlight of our autumn collection is the stylish Woollen Waistcoat, a simple make and a great way to add layering into your wardrobe. Another of our favourites is the Childs Reversible Jacket - an adorable make for little ones, it is also incredibly practical with its hood and cosy quilted fabric. Make an autumn coat for your cushions too with the Upcycled Cushions project. Using recycled gents’ wool jackets, these fun cushions celebrate the beauty of on-trend tweed and are effective, yet simple to make. Celebrate an autumn colour palette of rich reds, browns and golds in the Goldfinch Wall Art. A combination of appliqué and free motion embroidery creates a striking picture that will brighten up your home on even the greyest of days. We also visit this autumns must-see exhibition - Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion at the V&A Museum and we meet collage based textile artist Mandy Pattullo to hear more about her work and love of repurposing beautiful fabric. Elizabeth Healy continues inspiring us with her Creative Sewing Practice whilst Mr X Stitch takes a closer look at Needlepoint.
