    Magazines make a great addition to your sewing library. They are filled with the latest products, techniques and project ideas - a wonderful source for inspiration, motivation and instruction.  Bookmark this site as we will be adding the current issues as soon as they are available.  If you would like to receive the latest issue of your favorite magazine, scroll to the bottom of this page to sign up for "automatic shipment".  We will keep your order on file and each time a new issue arrives your copy will be mailed out the day after we receive them.

The latest issues of Sew Beautiful, Australian Smocking,  Inspirations and Ottobre are listed under Current Issues and available back issues can be found under Back Issues. Each issue is listed with a photo of the front cover, a brief description of the contents, item # and price.

**FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE is rising by the minute.  The end result of this is the cost of importing products from overseas has increased, so unfortunately the price of all new Ottobre, Australian Smocking and Inspirations magazines and reorders of back issues will go
up to $18.00 per issue.**

It is with great sadness that we have to tell you that Creative Needle magazine will no longer be published. 
We all will miss the wonderful articles and great inspiration they provided.
We have some back issues still available in
Back Issues but when they are gone - they're gone!
