Welcome to issue 31 of CraftWorld Magazine, the inly magazine dedicated to bringing free inspiration to sewists, papercrafters, knitters and crochers every single month!

This issue is packed with projects you'll love to make, including our plaid, check and tartan masterclass (page 37), Country Village card designs (page 8), and an adorable pattern to make your own Lucky the Dragon crochet toy (page 45) to celebrate the Chinese New Year. We have makes that will spark everyone's interest at various skill levels to brighten your month.

If you are in the mood for a cup of tea and a good read, we have you covered too. I loved reading the interviews this month with Pete Hughes and Chloe Thurlow (page 51 & 63). We also have features to help you elevate your skills including need-to-know stitches (page 11) and get colour confident , which explores colour theory (page 23).

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

Happy crafting,
