Do you have you a special little girl in your life? Then you won’t want to miss Pamela Cox’s gorgeous dresses that will have any little girl felling like a princess. Once these dresses are made it may be time to give your own wardrobe a makeover and Florence Woodrow has some lovely ideas for adding that special touch to your tops and jeans.

We also feature three different quilts this issue – all quite easy but using some differing techniques. Sharyn Baldwinson demonstrates her method for making finished quilt blocks completely in one hooping – now that’s economical! Janet Sansom has a pretty quilt that looks complicated but it achievable for even those with little experience. Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are May Gibbs’ loveable and enduring characters and Pauline Fisher has used these iconic characters to decorate a beautiful cot quilt and matching pillowcase.

Three-dimensional items are fun to make and look amazing. This issue we have two for you. Janny Primrose’s basket is embroidered on a computerised machine while Jane Grove shows how to make a bowl that can be completed on any sewing machine. You definitely won’t want to miss these!
