Top 10 Sewing & Needlecraft Magazines

According to the BBC in the last few years there has been a “quiet revolution” going on in Britain’s homes. People have been buying sewing machines, going to needlework classes and joining sewing circles.  The hype is partly attributed to the television programmes like Project Runway which has interested a new generation to create its own fashion and C4’s Home Made Home. With this in mind I thought I would give you a guide to the top ten sewing and needlecraft magazines available at Unique Magazines using our sales information for the last 2 years.
