Welcome to issue 28 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 festive inspiration with our Joy to the World makes (page 8), an amazing Nativity scene on page 35, Lily Fletcher’s beautiful festive bells makes (page 42) and a truly awe-inspiring Christmas tree box on page 56. For all you crochet lovers, there’s a gorgeous dove design on page 45, and don’t miss out on our sewing pattern hacks on page 50.

If you’d rather 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 discovering the secrets of pantomime costume making (page 15) and learning about Christine Young, the owner of Paper Nest Dolls, on page 31.

I hope you enjoy this issue, and if you do, please share it with your friends!

Happy crafting,

Jasper x
