Stitch Magazine

April 29, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 47 Comments

I am jumping up and down with excitement over here! I have been eagerly awaiting my copy of the Spring issue of Stitch Magazine and it arrived today. I am thrilled to have two projects in this issue. This is one of my favourite sewing magazines as it always has such contemporary, modern and fresh designs that never fail to inspire.

I designed a handy eco shopper bag that folds up into a little pouch so you always have it on hand when shopping.

I also designed a trio of animal bath mitts – to make bath time fun!

One of the most exciting things for me is that I am in a magazine that features many of my favourite designers such as Rebeka Lambert, Ayumi Takahashi, Rashida Coleman-Hale, and Blair Stocker. Stitch magazine can be hard to come to find in Australia but is available online from Interweave Store.

    Congratulations on the projects!
    I love this magazine too. My girlfriend and I were just going through it the other day loved the bag. I’m thinking that design comes handy. The bath mitts would make a nice gift for a new baby so cut I loved it.
