Australian Stitches Magazine
Volume 15 No 11 on sale NOW!
Have you ever wondered what it takes to put out a magazine on sewing and fashion; profiles of people within our industry and get creative ideas to whet the appetite for those of us who cherish fashion through the art of dressmaking? It’s easy or so it seems - Just look to one of the leading sewing magazines in the world and you will find it is your own home-grown Australian Stitches.
So what makes it so unique? Just read on and see why...
In this issue fashion guru - Eddi Frantz sends us an updated postcard from the USA, so we can take a sneak preview into what’s happening so we can be ahead of the rest. Eddi’s sketches are so totally breathtaking it is worth the price of the magazine just to see what he creates each issue.
He also takes a look at the New Zealand Fashion scene-stealers; they are making an amazing contribution to cutting-edge fashion ‘Down under’ and you get to see it first! And of course you can put your own interpretation on it to make it uniquely your own.
The cover of this issue - which is out NOW, shows how to get the best out of ‘one pattern - two looks’ and if you want to see the other version, then check out your local news agency.
For technical advice and step by step photos, look no further than Martyn Smith, a New Zealand Couturier who shows how to go beyond the pattern instructions for making the perfect jacket. There is also great tips on blind hemming – watch this space as this man is great.
Lynn Cook – publisher of Australian Stitches magazine is totally ‘hands-on’ with ‘part three’ of her summer wardrobe plan - which is all about red, white and black and shows how to multiply your options by careful planning with ‘Mix and Matching to the MAX!’ Don’t worry, you get to see the first two parts as a re-cap so you won’t miss out.
See how to turn two squares of fabric or scarves into a super summer dress with minimum effort. Pattern instructions and layout are provided.
There is a designer blouse; the latest discount offers from dedicated advertisers; FREE knitting pattern; a profile on a new sewing school; and a gorgeous dress from Knitwit.
And of course we keep the best till last: the amazing make-over series by Kerry Swan: we will show you a sample from a previous issue but if you want to see what she did with her magic wand in this issue– then you will just have to get a copy before it disappears off the shelf.
