CraftWorld Magazine Issue 32 : February 2024
Welcome to issue 32 of CraftWorld Magazine, the only magazine dedicated to bringing free inspiration to sewists, papercrafters, knitters and crocheters every single month!
This issue is full of projects that will be sure to get you inspired this month, including the Flutter-Sleeve dress masterclass (page 37) and Celebrate Everything card designs (page 8). Plus, we are helping you get spring ready with our beautiful Sunburst Crossover bag (page 16), adorable Easter decorations (page 44) and the inventive butterfly wreath over on page 47.
However, if you are more in the mood to sit back with a cup of tea and a nice read, we also have you covered. We caught up with our friend Julie Hickey to see what she has got in store for us all in 2024 (page 50). Plus, Sarah-Jayne tells us all about what she has been getting up to in the world of crochet, turn to page 60 to read all about her top tips on how to add a burst of texture to your homeware. I especially loved learning how to make the perfect pompom with our easy step-by-step guide, it is the perfect way to add a pop of colour to your makes (page 63).
All this plus so many more projects and cosy reads for you to enjoy this month. I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we do, and if you do, please share it with your friends!
