Join the SUMMER SEWATHON

“I’m so excited for summer! The Great British Sewing Bee is back on our televisions, the weather is perking up, and my sewing machine will be whirring non-stop. It’s time for a big summer sewathon! – 

Over the next few months I intend to cram the magazine with summer sewing inspiration, competitions and offers. Wouldn’t it be great if we all challenged ourselves to sew something new – whether that’s for the holidays, summer picnics or just a BBQ party!”
– Amy Thomas, Editor of Love Sewing Magazine
