Title: Sew Style
Post by: annieg on September 27, 2018, 23:08:11 PM

I came across this mag in my local SPAR shop this evening - I'd never seen it before.  Its  not cheap (9.99) but does come with 3 Simplicity patterns (US sizes XS to XXL).
I thought it was worth a treat purchase for the purposes of research!

This is quite good value, I think . Slanted towards Simplicity (sponsored by them), but in addition to the 3 x patterns there's download pdfs and I particularly like the tunic on page 63.  Also bag patterns.
I can't see the date, and I wonder if its a one-off.
Anyway, for once I am happy that I've got my money's worth.

It looks as though it's monthly. (https://www.newsstand.co.uk/62-Others-Magazines/24386-Subscribe-to-SUPERCRAFTS-BOOKAZINE-SERIES-Magazine-Subscription.aspx)

Does it have pdfs for the patterns that are included as paper patterns?  Even with the extra £2.06 to have it delivered it's good value if there's plenty in there.

I seemed to have two distinct hobbies - collecting quilting fabric and collecting dressmaking patterns.

I found this magazine in Morrisons this morning and also like the tunic, but the instructions are not clear enough for me.  Maybe if you make it, @annieg  , you could make a YouTube video.   ;)

I popped to Lidl on the way home but sadly no leggings.

@Pearl
Thanks for trying for the leggings! 

if I do make the tunic I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm struggling with the download patterns option affiliated with this magazine.
It clearly says log on to sewmag.co.uk/sew-style, but when I do so I can't find the link to the pdfs for the edition I have which is "1 6" according to the front cover page. :(

Very disappointing.....

Do the patterns have names or numbers that you could search for on the site?

BTW, that is the slowest loading site I have come across for a very long time.   :[

@Acorn
There's no pattern numbers and I searched for the tulip tunic by Amanda Walker (one of the patterns) but no luck!
Agree the site is appallingly slow... |O
I wouldn't buy the magazine again if I can't rely on the downloads.

I downloaded it with no problems from here

The tulip tunic is in the first mag at the top. If anyone wants it I can email it to you as a PDF.

You're welcome  :D
I must look out for the magazine, it looks interesting.

To me it looks like a repeat of patterns from Sew magazine. The paperpag trousers and frill top on the cover aren't from very long ago.

Worth it if you like them but probably not if you get See regularly.

I saw that in Asda.  Sadly, somebody had ripped the packaging and stolen the patterns.  Not good!
