Homespun 9.12

This bumper December kids issue will have you crazily sewing away making quilts, library bags, soft toys and pencil holders for every child you know whether they are your own kids, grandkids or your friends kids! There is the Hungry Catipillar pencil roll by Lynne Power, a material kite wall hanging by Natalie Bird, a giraffe by Fiona Dalton and even some cute insect inspired stitcheries from J Leutenegger. The kid’s can even add their special touch to Lily’s Journal Quilt by Fiona Tully but you will just have to wait and see with that one! Trust us when we say there is still plenty more where these came from and it is certainly an issue you will not want to miss. Grab your copy of Homespun Vol 9 No 12 from December 3rd.
