CraftWorld Magazine Issue 27: September 2023
Welcome to issue 27 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 Watercolour Wonder makes (page 8), Christmastide stockings on page 25, a Drummer Boy and Piper crochet creation (page 35) and an amazing die-cut church on page 56. Don’t miss out on our Halloween pattern round-up on page 29 for spooky crafty ideas and there’s a fabulous floral garland (page 60) for you to add colour to your home.
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 reading about the history of sewing in film (page 15) and get a new look for your wardrobe with our top picks of fabrics on page 50.
I hope you enjoy this issue, and if you do, please share it with your friends!
