Pick up your copy of Threads #155!

Threads #155 is on newsstands May 10th! Inside you will find ways to create a carefree summer wardrobe, add vintage details to your garments, fit a sleeve perfectly, and much more. Senior technical editor Judith Neukam demonstrates a zero waste technique you won't want to miss, and we show you what Vancouver, B.C. has to offer as a sewing destination. These are just some of the great features included in addition to the tips, notions, and embroidery essentials found in every issue.

You can purchase the issue in our store, but if you can't wait to get your hands on it, check out a few extra techniques offered exclusively online.

• Create a Swirled Bias Sleeve and A Forgiving Bias-Cut Sleeve with techniques by Threads author Denise Severson. Be sure to check out her article "Bye-Bye Biceps Blues" in the issue.

• Go to Great Lengths with Barbara Emodi as she demonstrates how to extend the length of a skirt at the hem. In the issue she explains how to extend at the waist with a knit yoke and two creative ways to extend within the skirt with straight or wavy inserts.

• Share photos of your handmade garments in our Reader's Closet gallery and you could be featured in an upcoming issue.

Calculations for the Viking Dress were provided and the apron, by definition, takes one yard of fabric but what about the yardage and measurements for the Bog Coat. I'd love to try my hand at it!
