CraftWorld Magazine Issue 24: June 2023
Welcome to issue 24 of CraftWorld Magazine, the only magazine dedicated to bringing free inspiration to sewists, papercrafters, knitters and crocheters every single month!
This issue is packed with projects you’ll love to make, including a Ronnie top (page 8), Cut & Emboss Folder makes (page 16), a fab Canvas tote bag (page 36), some beautiful Hexi Puff coasters (page 44) and stunning summer designs (page 60). We have makes for all skill levels, each one designed to brighten your summer.
If you’d rather just sit back with a cup of tea and a slice of cake and have a good read, there’s plenty to choose from too. I loved reading about Crochet Fashion Week (page 20). And don’t miss our information about tutorials from IndigoBlu, who take us behind the scenes of a craft company that we love (pages 15 & 54).
I hope you enjoy this issue, and if you do, please share it with your friends!
Happy crafting,
