Current periodicals are the best way to find out what’s new in any interest group. They are the cutting edge of fashion, information and technology. When did you last buy one? For crafters and sewers we are no exception. This week I treated myself to 3 magazines, there are now so many available. I recommend newbies to the sewing machine-have a look at Beginners guide to Sewing (available in WHSmiths). There are loads of cute things to make with full patterns and instructions. Molly Makes features a retro tattoo heart brooch pattern free with the magazine and Love Quilting features a booklet with 20 patchwork blocks to try. Don’t forget you can always join the sewing community with Beverleys Makerys. See you there soon!
