THE SEW DOWN: MAY 21
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 designer we’ve got is Vikisews and we are so excited to have them on the site. They have a vast range of patterns and they are currently working through their back catalogue translating them into English from Russian. We have their first 20 patterns on the site. Pattern cutting deconstructed is the second designer, perfect for those who want to learn more about pattern cutting. They have kits that come with basic blocks that you modify to fit you perfectly and pattern pieces that you draft yourself!
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.
