I was collecting magazines at my local Barnes & Noble for my long flight to Seattle later in the week. I came across the latest Sew News (Oct/Nov 2008). Now, I know I wasn't suppose to be skimming through this mag until I got on my flight, but I couldn't help it. Let me tell you, this mag has a lot of good sewing info.
First off, I came across this cool looking pillow picture on page 48. Now, that looks very, very familiar to me...the black and silver brocade fabric. Could it be? No, too much of a coincidence. But I had to go and check in my closet.
Sure enough, it's the same black and silver brocade fabric that I used for my Kwik Sew vest. Same fabric design, same colors. Wow. Just think, I purchased this brocade from Joann's earlier this year and now the fabric is being used in a Sew News article.Oh yeah, back to the magazine. There are several interesting articles about silk fabrics, the different types, and some project ideas.
What caught my eye in this particular issue, was the section on How to Fitting - Pants. There's some pretty good line drawings about fitting issues and how to resolve them.
Also, there's a writeup on Fall fashion trends. I haven't even covered the rest of the magazine as I had to close it and hide it in my backpack. Okay, so I'm looking forward to my long flight.
I think this latest issue is worth a look.

Wow! How cool is that about the fabric! Sew News has really had some interesting articles lately. I saw the pants one and found my butt--uh, that's low fanny :( . My crotch curve looks just like it.
Kat...I'm still trying to find my butt...or figure out my rear end pants problem. :)
Re the brocade: Proof of your good taste!
See you in Seattle!
How cool is that!!!
