Threads Magazine- Vintage Issue

[Lauren]

Hello,

I just recieved my copy of Threads magazine in the mail yesterday and thought I'd pass on the word. Nearly the whole issue is vintage inspired, featuring articles on vintage sewing patterns, taking detailing from authentic 1940's dresses, adding vintage details to new garments, and creating vintage inspired aprons, among others. You might want to pick it up, or here's a link to some of the articles which are available online:

Thank you for the heads up...I will have to get this magazine and maybe subscribe!

I have been wanting to get back into sewing again and this will definitely help.

Wow!!! I HAVE to have it! But there seem to be no retailers for it in Europe :-( I´ll have to wait till it pops up on ebay if it ever does *sigh*

[Lauren]

You're welcome :)

Sari, I think you can buy it on the website... I know they do international subscriptions, so I don't see why they wouldn't ship individual issues :)

I tried to, but they just take credit-cards (which are rather unusual in Europe) and no paypal :-(

When I look at the names of new threads on this site I forget to check under which forum it is.
This magazine sounds like a must buy. I could tell my wife I got it for her and then read the articles myself.
Thanks for the heads up.

Sincerely,
the Wolf

You're welcome! And there's an article on restoring vintage clothing that could be used to men too, I'm sure :)

The Joanns I went into today still has July's...

Same thing happened to me yesterday. JoAnn still had the July issue. :(

Sari-heck, I can buy an issue for you when I get mine, and we can work it out through Paypal for cost and all that. I ship to Germany alot and can use USPS First Class International-I don't think it would cost that much. PM if you would like me to do this! I checked Joann yesterday, and the issue they have is still the old one. I will keep checking back there to see when they have it. Does this sound ok to you? :)

Says the vintage issue should be out July 10. When I was a subscriber I always got mine much earlier. I'll wait to go to Jo-Ann's and use my 40% off coupon.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been haunting my local newsagents hoping they'd have a new issue for a week--it seems like it's been so long between issues. Perhaps next week?

My local magazine shop finally got this in on Friday--great issue! I couldn't believe how young the proprietress of EvaDress is. I'd love to be let loose in Western Costume too--it was really helpful to see an in-depth examination of those two 1940s gowns.

Does anyone else feel like Threads has been very uneven over the past year or so? Sometimes I feel like it is way too basic, but then they'll produce an issue like this one and my hopes rise again.

I couldn't believe how young the proprietress of EvaDress is.

I think you're looking at the photo in Threads? I was confused when I first saw the article, until I realized they were using a model. The photo in Threads isn't Alexandra Reynolds. You can see a picture of her on her website, at http://www.evadress.com/ED.html. She's still young, just not as young as the model they used.

Sharp eyes Vintage Laura! Thanks for pointing that out.

Ooh, I'd love a copy of this, especially since I'm planning to seriously get into sewing once I go home this summer. Now I just need to remember to buy the magazine before it goes off the shelves!

[Nashoba]

I picked it up the other day. JoAnns still has the july issue out but I found it at Barnes&Nobles. I havn't really read this one much..I think I might start!

[goldwyn girl]

I am checking Joannes this morning.When I was there on Tuesday they told me the new magazines come in on Thursdays so I will report my findings.

[Adele]

Well, now I know what I have to add to my things to do this weekend.

Thank you for sharing that Lauren! :)

Joannes had the new issue in Yesterday.
