isew - the face of sewing in the uk; the place to visit for sewing enthusiasts

Sewing is BIG news! There has been coverage in  national newspapers and on prime time TV, reporting that sewing and sewing machine sales are on a high. It's not news to us of course, because we all have a passion for sewing anyway, but it's great that it's hitting mainstream news. So, wherever you go, spread the word - sewing is soaring!

Back to what's new on ISEW this month - and remember, ISEW is THE leading sewing site in the UK. We've a great hobo bag and a cushion cover that's a work of art in the Sewing Projects. In Sewing Techniques we've included tips on couching - a great technique that can be used to embellish and liven up last year's clothes or furnishings.

For the kids or young at heart we've a great idea to restyle T-shirts into a slim fit dress.  We've also some great book reviews and show previews for you to browse and news of a textile competition and fabulous fabric sale.

Don't forget the forum also. If you have some sewing news to share, want to ask questions of fellow sewing enthusiasts or just chat online, click on the forum.

Whether you wish to sew fashions or furnishings, costumes or crafts, this is the place to be so spread the word - sewing in the UK is back in a big way.
