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

Hallo everyone! Hope you are enjoying the summer. Having some sunny and some rainy days is actually good news for those that sew - it means we can happily tuck ourselves away indoors to sew without feeling guilty!

Of course, when you do get outside, you want to be comfortable so we've two projects to 'dress' outdoors this month! Try our patchwork picnic mat and/or easy awning - both are in Sewing Projects.

If you need to smarten up an outfit or add an accessory, then turn to Sewing Techniques for easy steps to make rolled rosettes. The steps included are worked on an overlocker, but if you only have a sewing machine, use a rolled hem foot or small zigzag stitch instead, the results may not be as quick to achieve, but they will still be quite satisfactory!

In our kids section we have another restyled T-shirt project. Take three T-shirts and turn them into a unique dress. Of course we've also some new book reviews, show previews and news items so do take a look at all the sections of the site.

Remember - ISEW is THE leading sewing site in the UK so share the news - ISEW is the place to go if you sew
