Welcome

Welcome to the Winter 2009 issue of Sew Inspirational.

Elizabeth Arden Quote 1910

And thank goodness for those true and wise words! It puts the ball right back in our own hands and is the motivating thought behind the fabulous collection of articles in this issue of Sew Inspirational.

Good grooming starts from the inside and although we’re not going to talk to you about exercise and nutrition, we are starting with the very next step. We continue our series on underwear, because good fit starts right there.

Pati Palmer joins us with her top 10 fit tips and if you learn to ‘tissue fit’ the entire pattern world belongs to you. Great fitting clothes look better; feel better and wear better….it doesn’t get any better than that.

The coat is the biggest fashion news of the season and if you’re making one then you shouldn’t go past all the info on sewing with Double Faced Fabrics or if knitting is the stitch that warms your heart then Cleakheatons new Chevron Coat is the perfect choice.

All this, backed up by our regular technical experts, giving the insider tips and techniques on handling, sewing and finishing beautiful fabrics. We have gone all-out to find some of Australia’s best artisans and stitchers and put together an issue brimming with inspiration, information, how and where to’s.
