FRESH IDEAS WITH FABRIC Sew yourself the gift of comfort and practicality with our cover star, the gender-neutral Bailey Hoodie! Wear it close-fitted or size up for an oversized, lounging garment – for more styling inspo, turn to page 22. And dance your way through our second star pattern, The Carrie Skirt – with its flowing, colourful look, you’re sure to brighten up any outfit. To help you get through the last cooler months, we show you how to make super comfy faux suede slippers on page 41 and learn how to sew wool in our Trend Tech of the month on page 18. Fancying booking a holiday where sewing is at the centre of it all? (Who wouldn’t?) Michelle Rowley tells us all about her own experience going on a sewing retreat on page 60.
