I’ve subscribed to Seamwork, a digital sewing magazine. The magazine is free, and if you subscribe ($6.00 per month) you receive two patterns each month. Each pattern is designed so it can be completed “in an afternoon”. I aim to make the Oslo Cardigan, although I’m going to use it as a robe. Let’s see if indeed this pattern can be completed in a timely fashion.

The pattern comes in two forms. A digital file that can be printed at a copy shop, or a file that can be taped together. I didn’t make it to the copy shop, so taping and cutting I am. I did this the night before I set to sewing, and forgot to start the timer, but I think the taping and cutting took about an hour.
I think this is so incredibly cool! I haven’t even the had the chance/money to pick up sewing again and yet I feel so excited that something like Seamwork is out there. I feel like $6 per month for two patterns is really cheap. Is that a correct feeling? Do you feel like the patterns you’ve received are good ones? Can’t wait to see what the cardigan looks like!
It’s a great deal and I’ve liked the patterns so far. January was the sweater and also a tote bag. This month is a camisole and also leggings with a cute tulip detail.

I like that the subscription is a very reasonable price and it seems like you get a lot out of it. The taping seems annoying, but doable! Excited to see how this turns out!!!
