July 2024

Editor’s Note

By Caitlin Eaton, Editor

Happy July everyone! This month, we've got a special treat for you: a retro-infused issue inspired by classic Palm Springs. Boasting vintage color palettes and 1960s-inspired designs, we're mixing modern projects with old-school twists for an issue that's guaranteed to delight. Get ready to sew a classic bucket bag in timeless denim with Debbie von Grabler-Crozier, or give your favorite shorts a fun makeover by transforming them into a colorful skort with Sadie Metter. For those spending summer by the pool, Sophie Tarrant’s lawn flamingo can cozies and Mallory Hill’s chic color block quilted coasters are must-make projects. Learn the art of adding snaps to clothing with Claudia Nicholson and celebrate Christmas in July with Palm Springs-inspired ornaments from Kathleen Berlew.  READ MORE
