    Recognise some of our patterns? We're proud to say that Sew HQ has bloomed from the archive of two well-loved UK titles: Sew Magazine and Make & Sew Toys. It's why you might spot the familiar logos on your PDF download!

    Launched in 2009, Sew magazine held the title of best-selling sewing magazine in the UK. The magazine catered to sewing enthusiasts of every kind, offering a wide array of content, including exclusive patterns every single month. With a combination of practical tutorials, pattern suggestions, product reviews, and informative articles, the magazine served as a valuable resource for both beginners looking to learn the basics of sewing and more experienced crafters seeking new inspiration and techniques to enhance their skills. Make & Sew Toys launched at the start of 2020 as a sister title to Sew Magazine, due to a growing demand for easy-to-follow toy patterns.

    Sew HQ is a one-stop shop for you to revisit these tried and trusted patterns, which are now available in a handy PDF format for you to print out again and again.
