It’s finally here! The new SewStylish Spring Fashion ’10 hits newsstands today and I couldn’t be more excited. Head over to your local book or fabric store today to pick up your copy. You can also order a copy from Taunton online to be delivered to your home, office, or to send to a friend.

This issue is packed with tons of stylish how-to information and design inspirations. It highlights patternmaking and sewing methods through several projects demonstrated with SewStylish Simplicity pattern 2417, and also includes techniques you can use to sew the garments in the issue or adapt easily to create your own designs.

Some of my favorite features include:

* An exclusive project from Project Runway favorite Sweet P
* How to make a sweater with your sewing machine
* Top 10 best sewing habits to help you get it right
* How to make the best of vintage sewing patterns
* Learn to design your own shoes and belts
