Sew – October 2018

'Tis the most wonderful time of the year – and the busiest for us stitchers! With Christmas on the horizon, is there anything better than dressing up in an outfit you've hand-stitched for a glamorous soirée? As your diary gets booked up with festive activities, you can count on us to have your wardrobe covered. You'll love our stunning selection of dressmaking projects this month: try out Julia Claridge's kimono wrap top, rock metallics in our pencil skirt tutorial and statement pleat number, then finish off with a boiled wool asymmetric jacket. We've also hand-picked merry must-haves from Stoff & Stil's new collection, collated joyous Christmas projects, and included the cutest Robin mascot – all for you to sew and give to a loved one this holiday season. Once you've snowboarded your way through our fabulous features, join in the countdown for this year's Sew Saturday, then vote for your stitchy stars in the British Sewing Awards for the chance to win £1,700 worth of prizes!
