Love Sewing Magazine Issue 122 Back Issue

Summer is officially here! No matter how you choose to spend it, home or away, there’s still time to sew up some new dresses and tops for the season! Whether beaches and resorts are in your future, or city breaks (for me, it’s sightseeing in Kraków!), you can always find an excuse to tailor your wardrobe to your trip! This month’s Vogue special is just the ticket to incorporate some sophisticated gowns to your repertoire.

Our paper patterns this month will give your wardrobe an extra touch of elegance. Our
Vogue 9311 pattern is perfect for sewing up your latest evening gown, sure to turn heads this summer. Turn to page 14 for inspiration on how to best use your pattern.

Our second pattern this month is the gorgeous Vogue 1862 2-in-1 dress pattern, incorporating a variety of stylish elements such as a gathered neckline, puffed sleeves and a flared skirt. For summer style, sew in light, floaty fabrics for added comfort – turn to page 37 for more inspiration!

Plus, as usual, we have plenty of inspiring dressmaking patterns from our designers to give you lots of new ideas this month. If you’re looking for something a little different to add to your dress collection, the Tara button-back dress on page 76 was designed just for you. Or, if you’re looking for the perfect hold-all tote for your travels, check out Cotton & Steel canvas bag on page 28.
