I am always being asked, “What’s new at Hoffman Media?” There is always something going on here and always something new, particularly with special issues of your favorite magazines.
But today we are launching something truly new: Classic Sewing Magazine!
Classic Sewing will have 132 pages of glorious sewing ideas, patterns, tips, and techniques and will include at least two full-size patterns in each quarterly issue. The magazine will feature heirloom and everyday sewing projects to delight the most discriminating sewist. Patterns will come in a separate envelope along with the magazine. No more tearing out pattern sections; all of the patterns will be easy to read and store! Unlike anything you have seen before, Classic Sewing will feature designs from top designers in the industry. The magazine has something fabulous for everyone.
Launching a new magazine is always fun—but also challenging! When we decide that a topic will grow and thrive as a regular periodical, that’s about all I can think about. The topic starts to consume my mind! Such is the case with Classic Sewing. I have never seen so much excitement for sewing than today. I have shared with you my love of sewing, and apparently there are many more like me who are sewing for children and grandchildren.
When we began building the concept for this magazine it was fun to talk with women who want to learn to sew and monogram. One of my colleagues said that beginning sewing classes across the country are filled with waiting lists. It’s marvelous that people today still have the desire to create one-of-a-kind garments. I grew up with a mom that made all my clothes, and I loved the fact that they were unique to me. I have come to the conclusion that it is just as rewarding for the maker as it is for the wearer when a young lady wears a new handmade dress.
Today, you can begin subscribing to Classic Sewing. If you are not a sewist, then perhaps you know someone who loves to sew and would enjoy this magazine. Please share this announcement with them. Thank you for your encouragement and love of all things beautiful!
