Love Sewing issue 73

Master seasonal dressing with two versatile patterns that are perfect for a range of festive occasions. Issue 73 comes with the figure-flattering M7085 dress pattern which includes six different garment options – that’s partywear options covered! The winter months also call for cosy nights in and for that, we have the snuggly Threadcount pyjama set with a full-length trouser option or shorts.

Tape measures are one of the most useful tools in a sewist’s armoury so we’re giving every reader a 60” tape to help keep those measurements precise every time. 

The issue also includes:

• Three must-make dressmaking projects including a pleated skirt, an easy-to-wear, pull on dress and a floaty blouse.

• Spruce up your home with a pretty Christmas cushion and festive table runner. We also have some fabulous gift ideas including a baby rattle project, adorable winter dog coat and a travel case.
