With the last whiff of summer in the air, our sewing gauge turns to autumn. This issue we’ve got you, quite literally, covered! As the temperatures drop, you’ll be ready to go with our first pattern – Butterick 6715. With a high-waisted, wide-leg silhouette, this pattern oozes on trend 70s style with a contemporary twist. If trousers are your nemesis, fear not! Alison Smith MBE shows you how to get the perfect fit on page 27, and Wendy Gardiner has all her best tailoring tips on page 72. Our second pattern, Thread count 2106, featuring a faux wrap bodice with either a flare or fitted skirt, is sure to tick the secret pyjamas box!

We especially love View C’s cuffed batwings – turn to page 63 to find out how to hack this version into a gorgeous, relaxed sweatshirt. Autumn never seemed so appealing! More seasonal sewing joy is to be had on page 49, where Julia Claridge of Bobbins and Buttons has the ideal long-sleeved party dress for cooler weather and page 84 for a pair of cosy corduroy shorts from Crafty Sew and So.

And for a fun palate cleanser, get the little ones ready for a new school year on page 55 with Debbie von Grabler Crozier’s backpack (and who says it’s just for kids?). As always, our panel of industry experts is on hand to give you all the masterclasses, information and advice you need along the way, and we also have some fantastic reads this month, including an incredible history of tartan from Michelle Rowley, plus lots of tips and tricks for sewing with this classic autumn-winter fabric.
