How hip?

Sew Hip!

I have heard about this UK magazine and ordered an issue to see what it was all about. There aren't that many patterns in the magazine but what it lacked in quantity, it sure made up for quality (so to speak) in my books.

I like the patterns in the magazine, and that I can see myself actually using this magazine. Here's my favourite projects :


The front cover


Love this quilt with the fresh summery colours

Easy dress which is a contribution from Liesl Gibson of Oliver+S fame. Hmm, maybe that's why I bought this magazine - my love for all things O+S.

How cute is Myrtle the Turtle??


And how adorable is the Wildwood fabric from Erin Mcmorris? Damn fabric ban! If you, unlike me, are not on a fabric ban, Kelani has just got some of them in.

I wondered about this mag! I saw on the O+S blog that Leisl had done a pattern and that drew me in too!
How cute are the trees - I still have some of her Park Slope range unused - it's so hard to cut into lovely fabric sometimes.

I've got a subscription to this magazine...love love love it! I have the O+S dress cut out ready to go once the weather warms up.

I have been eyeing off that mag for a while but never actually bought it. The subscription seemed expensive but now they have it in the newsagency and you can get it an online version too. Mmm another magazine for my stash? Susan

Oh, I need to get my hands on that magazine too. Love the quilt! Maybe the bookstore will have a copy.

Oh I am another lover of SewHip - it is fabulous - my local newsagent is kind enough to order it in for me.
I adore your fabrics too - can't go past the pink/green mix!!

No such luck at the book store! Bummer.

Ohhh... that dress is adorable... mmm... I might have to be ordering that magazine too....

I am not going there as I have way too many mags already! But it does look good!

And I love that Erin McMorris fabric. Saw some Slope the other day and was sorely tempted, but I'd just bought 15m so could not justify any more LOL
