I'm a very long time Threads devotee and have bought every issue of Australian Smocking since I learned how to smock, 4 years ago. I was so disappointed w/the last issue. I was fully expecting them to do something fabulous w/their last issue and give us inspiration to hold us for a good while. So the "retrospective" was a bummer for me. I'm thankful I have long time smocking friends who have every issue ! I will be revisiting Vogue since your post. Haven't read it in years. Your thoughts on the last Australian Smocking and Embroidery issue ??Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833918089609453893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-53943756139026193012012-09-22T16:36:27.740-04:002012-09-22T16:36:27.740-04:00Thank you for this post, Bunny!Thank you for this post, Bunny!adriprintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924063778972115705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-23152476630974484262012-09-18T17:59:17.716-04:002012-09-18T17:59:17.716-04:00I like Burda magazine (english or spanish version)...I like Burda magazine (english or spanish version).

I trawl through many Youtube tutorials and read blogs like yours to gain insight into sewing. I wanted to subscribe to the Vogue Patterns Magazine but I might give Threads a go too.

There's no substitute for quality information written by the masters of sewing.

The other magazine I also subscribe to is Australian Stitches Magazine. Great for the few Down Under sewers as it is 'in-season' for us, and it also offers amazing technically ideas to transfer to your own sewing...Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-67901857336462333332012-09-15T17:00:34.048-04:002012-09-15T17:00:34.048-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-7317791007876903042012-09-15T16:56:48.992-04:002012-09-15T16:56:48.992-04:00Thanks for this article.

Sounds like I need to check out Vogue, too. One question: What is the CASE method? Bing search wasn't any help.

I started with Vogue magazine years back (sadly no longer have them), but then they changed it to Sew Direct magazine here int he UK.<br /><br />I now subscribe to Threads, and eagerly await the two magazines to arrive on my doorstep each month along with Burda magazine.pdiddlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231666147175522583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-29423459715022217982012-09-15T16:18:13.951-04:002012-09-15T16:18:13.951-04:00Me too.
