I read some of Makery.uk's blog posts just last night - I also hang my pdf patterns up on trouser hangers. I like Portia's giant pin cushion and put that on my to-do list that lives only in my head. Maybe I should write some of this stuff down...Gisellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109646912314640079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862826007041372149.post-32573309804206137442015-03-29T02:30:17.529-07:002015-03-29T02:30:17.529-07:00Heck, no one nobody comments, I keep getting locke...Heck, no one nobody comments, I keep getting locked out half way through my comment. What I was saying was that , once I looked at the wool when I got home, I changed my mind about the pattern I was going to make with it and flicking through old magazines produced the perfect pattern. This happens with fabric I buy as well,.Barbaragshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642039592898914152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862826007041372149.post-23794684730331947492015-03-29T02:25:55.145-07:002015-03-29T02:25:55.145-07:00I confess that I have about fifty magazines that I...I confess that I have about fifty magazines that I have collected through the years and I will not throw them out as they are great to flick through in moments of ennui to get ideas and inspiration. Sometimes you come across something you had completely forgotten about. This happened to me today. I bought some more knitting wool at Excel on FridayBarbaragshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642039592898914152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862826007041372149.post-33138859066367811082015-03-29T02:18:30.814-07:002015-03-29T02:18:30.814-07:00Portia Lawrie has a great blog that is very useful...Portia Lawrie has a great blog that is very useful for people wanting to try out crafty projects.

I am hoping as the issues progress I see more advance projects too jenny. I think for me it's the act of collecting a series of magazines from start to finish in an area I love ❤ made me subscribe too. I tried to build a collection of Burda style but I found it hard to locate, and also quite pricey where do you guys buy Burda?

I did buy Issue 1 but similar to Barbara I found the projects a little too simple. To be fair I didn't have the magazine very long as my cat spilled a vase of water over it, but I also didn't rush out to buy again.<br />I really liked Portia Lawrie's article though as I do like to up-cycle charity shop finds.<br />I tend to buy Burda Style, Love Sewing, Stitch, and Sew and Home, although the last one does fall into that trap of way too many homewares and not enough fashion, (guess there is a clue in the name right?).<br />JennThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441720813568728254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862826007041372149.post-2345412769690267792015-03-27T23:50:04.397-07:002015-03-27T23:50:04.397-07:00Continued from above as comments suddenly refused ...Continued from above as comments suddenly refused to allow me any more comment. Re Sewing World I found It was getting repetitive and I no longer wanted to add more patterns , free traceable patterns came with each issue. Do people find it difficult to find sewing magazines in the shops, I often have to chase around to find a Burda Style to see if There are any patterns in it to tempt me to buy it. And issues of Threads seem quite rare where I live.Barbaragshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642039592898914152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862826007041372149.post-69724444640755825172015-03-27T23:41:47.598-07:002015-03-27T23:41:47.598-07:00Another comment- does anyone else have a magazine ...Another comment- does anyone else have a magazine they would recommend and why?

At a cheap price it would be nice to flick through and it is tempting to try the offer but, for myself, I think I can get a lot of what there is in the magazine off the internet and blog sites or haunting my local library for new sewing books so it would not make it worthwhile for me to subscribe once the offer ran out. That said, some magazines have monthly special offers for subscribers that are worthwhile. Do you know if they do this?Barbaragshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642039592898914152noreply@blogger.com
