I always buy the Burda magazine, you get a lot of patterns for £4.95. Even if there was just one or two patterns that I liked I think it`s still worth buying when a single pattern is about £5 or more.This month I looked through Burda and I wasn`t really happy with the content. I decied not to buy it, It doesn`t happen often at all. I looked through a few different sewing magazines and Love Sewing caught my eye.
It had a free pattern I really liked the look of - The Bardot Dress, right up my street!
It`s quite an interesting magzine, there are many projects at different levels for beginers or advanced. It's not perfect though, It looks like they made a mistake with a mini Ruby Dress, The neckline is very very small and I'm sure it's not suppose to look like that.
What puts me off most sewing magazines is that the projects are either very simple or not attractive at all, pictures look like they were taken 10 years ago. I like vintage but real vintage, not old looking stuff. Love Sewing looks modern, I`m even considering subscribing to it!
I've challenge myself to stay off sugar for a month, I'm at the end of my second week now and I have to say it's been difficult but not impossible. I started eating a lot more greens and drinking herbal teas. My favourite at the moment : lemon and ginger tea (with fresh ginger and lemon).
