&Stitches is a quarterly e-zine, all about modern stitching. It has a strong focus on embroidery (and yes that includes all kinds of embroidery!) but other (hand) sewing projects and themes are definitely on the map too. Both Carina and Nicole love a bit of stitch-geekery; from discussions about how to organise your embroidery floss to sci-fi patterns. Not shying away from traditional techniques but at the same time embracing new themes and a ‘bend the rules’ mentality. Throw in a bit of their European Nordic style and you have a unique recipe for an awesome e-zine about stitching!
Each issue has its own theme and will hold a couple of patterns (including one by a guest contributor), book reviews, interviews and lots of photos.
