Sew Beautiful Magazine #125

The New Sew Beautiful Magazine is out now. I do not have anything in this issue so I will offer my review.

I am part of several chat groups and when a new issue comes out I am amazed at the contradicting complaints.

My Comments on SB #125 are #12, #6, #19, #22.

Well that said. It really is a Great issue! I am sure this issue will sell out quickly! It is packed with eye candy and tons of techniques and little details.

It is hard to pick a favorite article but I can't wait to try the folded fabric flowers "Kanzashi In Bloom" or try the Spaghetti Bias loops.

I have a friend's granddaughter who is pictured on page 16 top left. Jerry, She sure is cute !

I always love anything the Helen Lively does. Just wait till you see her smocked Peacock "Raja" in the next issue! ~janet
