This pattern comes with its own digital sewing magazine.

The magazine has 65 pages full of insight, guidance, and inspiration.

I also provide 24 insight pages which will give you extra knowledge into all kinds of topics such as how to use a sewing machine, how to use your cutting tools, using a seam ripper, the universal presser foot, changing a presser foot, needle charts and changing a needle, understanding the grainline, measuring the grainline, fabric layouts, pattern directions, securing patterns, chalking, and the correct and incorrect ways to pin. Each topic has its own individual page dedicated to learning that topic so you can gain an in-depth understanding of everything you will need for this project and many more to come.

As well as offering extra in-depth insights in this sewing pattern and sewing magazine, I also include guide pages. These pages guide you through the making process. The guides include how to set up your sewing machine for a straight stitch, how to turn corners, and how to set up your machine for zigzag stitching. Each guide page not only shows you how to do something, but also how you can customise the stitches to create the look that you desire. I also explain why you might change the length and width of your stitches and show detailed pictures to help guide you. There are dedicated guide pages for both manual and digital sewing machines.

Each sewing magazine comes with extra articles full of creative inspiration. In this issue, I look into the fascinating history of pet ownership and how animals have been used in therapy to help people heal. Did you know animal assisted therapy goes right back to the ancient Greeks? Have you ever heard the expression, "A dog is a man's best friend?" Well, how far back do domesticated pets actually go, and why are animals becoming increasingly popular in therapy? Let's dive into the history of pets and how they help humans heal from neurological and physical disorders.
