I received my copy of Threads yesterday, and there is a feature showing the winners of the Make it with Wool competition, some lovely garments and ideas, plus one is a Machine Embroidery winner and this is beautiful yet so simple. I do love some of the extras that some of these winners have added to their garments.
There is also a new and different way in fitting called Add a Yoke for Fit by Sarah Veblen she has taken a shoulder dart and turned this into a curved back yoke, and also on another one made a two piece back yoke.
The vintage garment feature is lovely and shows how we can add bias silk or taffeta bands to tulle to create a stunning evening dress - replicating one from 1929. I personally think this idea would be so useful for those making full wedding dresses and these bands on tulle would make an excellent underskirt as the edges of the tulle are enclosed by wide bands of the silk or taffeta.
Another article is about lining knit garments and suitable fabrics for this.
Oh I do love my Threads magazine, there is always something nice that I like in each issue, it is just a shame it is so difficult to get hold of - luckily I have an excellent newsagent in a neighbouring village who gets this for me - I am the only one, and I start chasing him when I think the next one is due, and so far I have not lost out - sometimes it is very late.
