The Loretta dress is a simple sew with a big impact. She has a Queen Anne or 'Jewel' neckline and simple design lines. Inside the magazine we also have a step by step tutorial for creating a full skirt for the Loretta pattern. As always our latest magazine is packed with patterns, interviews and sewing tips & inspiration. This month we have help with narrow and broad back adjustments from GBSB's Claire-Louise Hardie, we're always trying to help you achieve the best fit possible. Couture dressmaker Alison Smith MBE looks at creating the perfect capsule wardrobe, useful tips on sewing garments that coordinate with each other so you get maximum wear. With Christmas just next month we also have lots of festive projects, party dress patterns and a guide for unique gifts you can sew up for friends and family.
