The Sew Down: February
Welcome to The Sew Down where each month we bring you a run down of some of the interesting stuff we have found, bought, read and watched in the world of sewing.
New Designers:
We’ve got two fantastic designers that have joined The Fold Line family. The first is UK designer Made my Wardrobe who have nice fab patterns. They’ve got a fantastic relaxed feel to the shapes and their patterns would be a great addition to anyones wardrobe. The second is Dovetailed, who is a indie designer with four patterns that are perfect for the beginner maker. Based in London and with a love of African Wax print, go check out her new book!
