Modern Seamster design + sewing magazine's Details
*Bridging the gap between domestic sewing and fashion design, Modern Seamster [tm] fills the needs for a smarter, fresher, and more innovative sewing magazine. By focusing on the fascinating world of sewing as a medium, we encounter the most gifted, imaginative, and wittiest artists and writers. Modern Seamster is the definitive magazine for designers and stitchers who see fabric as a vital creative outlet. We bring these discoveries to our readers.
*The Modern Seamster reader is idiosyncratic; inventive, impudent and irreverent; vibrant intelligent, and aware; clever, rebellious and very disgraceful; whip smart, dorky, but dexterous; young urban, trendsetting, honest, and unapologetic; feisty, tongue-in-cheek, confident . . . we could go on . . .
*Published quarterly, Modern Seamster believes in enabling people to make well-made garments. We also believe that sewing is inspiring, fun, and seriously fashionable . . . and that it’s okay to sew the skirt but buy the shirt!
