JULIE writes: Here in the UK we have only one sewing magazine that focuses purely on dress making.So i decided recently to subscribe to your brilliant magazine. I have been sewing all my adult life, making most of my kids clothes for a fraction of the cost of "ready mades". Now a grandmother my daughter said she didn't want anything making for her daughter, which saddens me greatly.
I spend alot of my time making existing clothes larger which usually works well.
Thanks again for a wonderfully informative magazine.
