Sew for Spring with the New Issue of Sew News Magazine

✓Enjoy patterns, articles, and secret surprises! Become a Charter Member of our brand-new digital sewing membership Makers Club.

Winters in Colorado can be long, dark and snowy. As we start into the new year each year, I find myself craving color, namely a nice, fresh green. That became the starting place for the Spring 2021 issue of Sew News: a celebration of the coming spring, renewal and all things green.

From that simple inspiration, so many good things grew. And you can join in the fun!

Inside the Issue

Here are a few highlights from the issue that you won’t want to miss! Don’t forget to check out the free patterns from the issue, available through April 2021.

Stitch a Penrose Peasant Blouse as part of our next free sew-along. We are in love with this pattern by Kimberly Payne of Straight Stitch Designs; it’s special yet perfect for every day!

Create a fresh bag with dyed rope and an upcycled leather belt with upcycling genius Sadie Fox Metter.

Add a collar to your favorite wrap top for a look that’s romantic AND put-together with a perfect spring hack by Bianca Springer.

Share your love for the world’s most perfect food – avocados! – with a too-cute zipper pouch by designer Jennifer Kempler.

More Features:

We’re also continuing our work to welcome new voices to the magazine, as we strive to support and grow a sewing community that is diverse and inclusive. As part of that work and in celebration of Black History month, we invite you to read more about the perspectives of the Black Makers Matter coalition and discover Black fashion designers, of today and recent history, who have left their indelible and creative mark on fashion.

Whether you find your next project in this issue, a chance to connect with other sewists or inspiring patterns from a new-to-you designer, we hope you’re filled with inspiration and hope for the new year, in your sewing pursuits and beyond!

Happy stitching!
