Hello Pattern Revolution readers! I am Kim from Kimmie Sew Crazy. Today I will be reviewing the most recent release of One Thimble Magazine, issue 8.
Of course when I saw the chance to review the whole magazine I jumped at it!!!! I request to do the full review every time I see the call, and then am a tiny bit disappointed when I am not picked. Well, not this time, here I am : ). Ok, blah, blah, blah…too much talking about me! : ) Let me get on with the review. So, what exactly is in issue 8 that you should be excited about?
First off and my favorite part- 12 really great patterns are included in this issue. I have made 4 of them and have every intention of making the rest. I made the Felt Succulents Headband, the Jackalope Tee, the Cosmos Reversible Skirt and the Cosmos Purse. All for Mila of course. In Australia, (the home of One Thimble) they are headed into summer. Here in Minnesota, summer is just about over. So I was happy to see I could use the patterns even though I am headed into the opposite season : ).
The Cosmos skirt may just be my favorite. It has a sweet scalloped hem, and lightly gathered waist. The skirt was very easy and a quick sew. This pattern is great for all levels of sewists and even suitable for a first project. I used a gorgeous Lecien fabric on both sides, because it is reversible : ) Whoops forgot to get a picture of the other side : ).
