We love Sewing World magazine, not only because they are the leading monthly sewing magazine for sewing enthusiasts, whether into dressmaking, soft furnishings or crafts but also because they share with us many features. The publishers, Traplet Publications, also produce DVDs on sewing and patchworking (sewing titles written and presented by Editor Wendy Gardiner). www.sewingworldmagazine.com
HotHive Textiles We love to work with other sewing and craft related sites that provide so much free info. HotHive Textiles is a great site.

It provides access to the world of creative textiles and is a comprehensive resource site designed to deliver information about textile related art, craft, fashion and interior decoration applications. Here you can contact suppliers, check events, sign up to study or improve your skills or meet with other artists in their community area. www.thetextiledirectory.com
