Sewn magazine

I subscribed to a new online magazine called Sewn, edited by Lisette Carrithers. The first issue came out a few days ago.

The mag includes a feature called "Essentials" for how-tos and shortcuts (probably spot-on for us Impatient Beginners). The way it was described was "we will be giving you tools to make that vision in your head a reality". (Wonder if they have one for wire jewellery?)

I am a sewing chicken, really. Even working with second hand fabric I am nervous of experimenting too adventurously. I have a few ideas I would like to try, though! So here's hoping that Sewn will give me the confidence to go ahead.

The "Stash" feature in the magazine also sounds great. It is intended to be an online fabric mall. Quote - "We worked with some of the online fabric retailers to pick out fabrics that work with the Fall 07/Winter 08 color report. Each of these links takes you right to the retailer that sells that fabric. The beauty of this is that you can coordinate across retailers so that you can have your one of a kind wardrobe without all the bolt diving and swatching."
The fabrics look wonderful, and I would enjoy shopping this way but the cost of shipping to Australia is terrifying so I will have to try to find a similar service here.
