I’m so extremely thrilled to tell you about the One Thimble magazine. It’s an Aussie based digital sewing magazine with exclusive patterns, tutorials and great advice to improve your skills and business. It’s chock-full of great articles. And I’m so excited to tell you that Golden Rippy made it into the One Year anniversary issue.

Happy Sewing!
