New to One Thimble and wondering how it works?
One Thimble is a digital sewing magazine (e-zine). It is delivered as a PDF file and you can flip through it like a magazine on your computer or tablet device. Patterns can be printed out on a regular home computer and assembled as you would with a regular PDF pattern.
Purchasing an issue of One Thimble will get you two download links.
One is the link to the E-zine – it has the articles at the front and all the pattern tutorials at the back (but not the pattern pieces).
The second link is to a ZIP file with the stand alone patterns all separate. You’ll find the pattern pieces here.
If you have any other questions just send me through an email to hello@onethimble.com.au
Keen to get your copy?
One Thimble Issue 15 will be available to purchase HERE after 12th May.
If you’d like to get your copy the day before you can purchase a subscription from HERE. Subscribers get their copy the day before everyone else!
Lost boys themed photoshoot
Do you ever look at photos on social media and wonder about the stories behind them?
Cathie and Cindy from Sew Darn Ezy pulled together the most amazing “Lost Boys from Peter Pan” photoshoot for their One Thimble Issue 14 sews.
Every time they shared an image a little more of the story came together. I was so pleased when Cathie agreed to share a run down of this shoot! Read on and be inspired by their story.

Behind the scenes One Thimble Issue 13
A little behind the scenes look at One Thimble Issue 13 …
There comes a time in every sewing Mum’s life when you have a conversation with your kid that goes something like this …
Kid: *sigh* I wish I had my style of clothes?
Mum: What is your style?
Kid: Store brought
Mum: No problem. We can go check out the shops, see what’s in fashion, and then I’ll find some patterns to sew you up some new clothes.
Kid: *rolling eyes* No. Store brought. As in, go to the store and buy the clothes. Like all the other kids.
Mum: *deflated*
I had this conversation with Kt a few years ago and feared my days of sewing for her were over. But then a few days later she was asking me to sew a Bonfire Jacket for one of her friends birthdays. We’ve reached an arrangement whereby I can sew for her (& her friends – who are far more into my sewing than she is) … but only if what I’m sewing, passes her fashion radar!
When she introduced me to the Pop Asia music show on SBS back in 2015 I felt like I’d hit the jackpot. So much colour! So many fun shapes! So much clashy goodness! So much inspo for Issue 13.
