The Sew Down: June
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 added two fantastic new designers over the past month. The first is PH7 Patterns who specialise is gender neutral patterns. They launched in March this year and have three fantastic patterns to choose from, and we look forward to many more! The second is Greyfriars and Grace who have a fantastic range of women’s patterns as well as some great kids patterns. They specialise in sustainability and their pattern are designed to be made using old garments such as a shirt for their base.
Stuff to read:
We are always hunting out good articles to read or a book that you can either read or listen to while you are sewing. We’ve got some fantastic things to get your teeth stuck into this month.
