Truly trendy techniques. The national news is filled with stories about the "renewed" interest in sewing. We know that although this age-old craft may have taken a back seat for a while, it never really went out of style. And every once in a while, even the best of us need a little refresher course on the how-to of certain techniques.

The Fall 2006 edition of Sew Simple does just that, with simple instructions for serging, rotary cutting, gathering and quilting. Plus, it's packed with quick and easy projects that will inspire you to get stitching! Converted camisoles, broomstick skirts, ribbon workings and more fill the pages of this special issue.
