Recycled Sweater Vest in Sew News

At last! TextileFusion techniques have debuted in a sewing magazine! My article about recycling an old sweater into a vest appears in the November issue of Sew News, pages 66-70. Here’s the cover, so you can recognize it on the newsstand. I’m ‘New Looks for Old Sweaters,’ there on the cover. Hurray!

The editors did a great job with the article. The illustrations done at the magazine are perfect, and they convey exactly the information they were meant to. I am so pleased to be included in Sew News.

Besides my recycled sweater story, you’ll find articles on how to make very cute bags from upholstery fabric, sew snowflakes and other pretty designs with satin stitch, and basics of serging. A piece on machine-embroidered quick gifts made me want to run to my Designer I and start embroidering. References to knitting are sprinkled here and there. I hope you will pick up a copy.
