2018

Sew‘s August issue is finally here, and we can barely contain our excitement! You’ll be pleased to hear that this month’s issue includes TWO FREE New Look patterns: one offers four easy-to-make maxi and knee-length dresses; the second includes four tunics you’ll be itching to get stitching! Choose fabric for these makes from our poppin’ poplin feature and beach hut stripes page. You’ll also love the stunning selection of projects this month: try your hand at our boxy top, create a simple kimono, and get the frill of a lifetime with our gathered cold-shoulder piece. We’ve even got you sorted for the holiday season with a set of travel projects, and a range of breakfast makes which can be whipped up in just one hour! You can download all of our project templates for free here.
