It was recently announced that the sewing publication Sew Beautiful would no longer be published. The publication was an inspiration to many who fell in love with French Heirloom Sewing. I was introduced to the magazine and French Heirloom Sewing when I was just nineteen years old. I signed up to take a class at a local Bernina dealership offered by Susan Oliver. She was one of the very early teachers at the Martha Pullen school and had studied and honed her skills. I admired her generous and kind heart as she taught this unique sewing style. I remember sewing on my not 'top-of-the-line' machine during the class and longing for one of the newer machines with perfect tension that didn't seem to chew up my lace and fabric!
The magazine also was the first place I had my writing published. Working with the editor and seeing my first magazine article was a real thrill. I queried the magazine at the urging of a university professor and how exciting it was to receive that first acceptance letter!
I've had many years of enjoyment and inspiration from this wonderful magazine. I've enjoyed it both personally and professionally.

Hi Tanya, I'm so sorry to hear about the magazine that you like. That is too bad. I hope you find a different magazine similar that you will like.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that Tanya! There have been so many publications as of late that I felt saddened to hear go, so I know the feeling. How absolutely wonderful that you were published here! That is fantastic! I hope you are well! Nicole xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad to see something you love come to an end. I can't believe that I have never heard of this magazine.
