Making Stories / Issue 7

Making Stories, Issue 7, focuses on joy – finding joy in the small and big things in life, in a new discovery or a renewed love, in knowing that even the smallest changes can have a huge impact on sustainability and the planet.

The 12 stunning patterns in this issue represent something that makes the designer truly happy – a favorite technique, stitch pattern, garment or accessory type, shape, or color. Similarly, the essays accompanying these patterns are love letters to finding joy in stitches and reclaiming what others deem is waste.
