CraftWorld Magazine Issue 36: June 2024
Welcome to issue 36 of CraftWorld Magazine, the only magazine dedicated to bringing free inspiration to sewists, papercrafters, knitters and crocheters every single month!
Kick-starting this issue we have innovative summer cards, including By the Seashore (page 8) and Shimmering Light (page 21) that will be perfect for any summer occasion. Then, over on page 32, we have beautiful floral makes from Die-cutting Essentials 116 by the incredible Sarah Phelan, plus a step-by-step guide to perfect stencilling on page 44.
If your chosen craft is knitting or crochet, we of course have lots of projects for you too. Starting with the crochet Peach Blossoms Pamper set over on page 11, Susie the Snake Plant (page 29) and Carnival Celebrations all décor, which celebrates 'Peach Fuzz' being announced as Pantone Colour of the Year 2024! Plus, we have an adorable Baby Bear Teddy Romper and hat set that is perfect for any little one in your life, and would make a perfect gift that I am sure anyone would love! (page 54).
However, if you are more in the mood to set down your knitting needles then we have some interesting reading for you too. Mitch shows us how to create perfect darts and gathers in any garment with his masterclass over on page 25. Plus, we finally got to sit down and have a catch-up with Chloe Endean, the face and incredible mind behind Chloe's Creative Cards (page 63).
Plus, an exclusive treat for our CraftWorld Magazine readers, we have giveaways from Pentel (page 24) and Soft Byte (page 60)! Read on to find out what is up for grabs and how you can enter and WIN big!
Happy crafting,
