INSIDE
Empathy is at the heart of Issue No. 13, inspiring makers to think deeply about how clothing shapes our understanding of each other and ourselves. This issue explores how sewing connects us to a wider world of textile activism, where gentle craft becomes a powerful tool for social change, with winter-ready patterns including quilted coats, chic dresses and designs with a unique twist.
Perfect for creating winter garments that are as meaningful as they are beautiful, this issue also includes special features such as hand embroidery techniques. Whether you're an experienced maker or new to sewing, Issue 13 invites you to craft with compassion and care.
Each design is accompanied by paper patterns and step-by-step instructions, ensuring accessibility for all. Available in nine sizes ranging from a 31"/78cm bust to a 57.5"/146cm bust, our patterns empower makers of all shapes and sizes to bring their creative visions to life.
