Welcome to the Revolution!

Why should knitters and quilters have all the fun? Garment sewists demand a magazine of our own. We want something less crunchy than a lot of the DIY stuff on the Web, but we don’t want Art to Wear either. We want designer inspiration, designer resources, and ideas for using patterns that are available commercially. We want great fabric even if we live in the middle of nowhere. We love vintage but still need to get dressed to go to work in the real world, not some costume drama. We want to learn great techniques without the schoolmarm tone. If we can get some style and makeup stuff too, that’s fabulous. 

Welcome to SEWNmagazine!

This is the fashion magazine for people who make their own fashion. We are big fans of what works. Because of that, you may see things done a little differently here than the way you were taught, if you were ever taught at all.

Most of us are trying to squeeze sewing time in between the laundry and a nervous breakdown. So while we can appreciate the artistry of a Gallianno gown, we are not sewing one and don't get us started on trying to drive to dinner in one. Fashion as an industry is a little catty and very opinionated. And so are we. We’re blunt but we're more like the battle-axe with a heart of gold than truly mean. You're going to get the unvarnished truth. 

The writers who are kind enough to allow us to use their work are given credit, even if at this point they aren't getting paid. What that means is that we are fiercely protective of their work. Everything here is published under a Creative Commons license that does not allow publishing to commercial sites. If you would like to use something on your blog, contact us and we'll ask them.  

Fasten your seat belts, because we are going to be moving fast.
