ISSUE 4 - VINTAGE-INSPIRED SHIRTDRESS
With this shirt dress, the fabric truly determines the style!
It’s a simple enough design: A shirt dress with inspiration from the late 1940’s – mid-1950’s. The dress has a soft collar and a lapel, which is a typical design-detail from that era. You can choose between either a rounded collar and lapel or the more traditional sharp corners.
The dress has princess seams that continue into the gores of the skirt. The skirt has some fullness, which will be especially emphasized in stiffer fabric, but it will also look great in a softer, more drapey fabric.
The patterns come in size 34 – 54.
In the magazine, you will find a HUGE fitting guide (shown on two very different body types). There are articles on interfacing and fabric, plenty of styling inspiration, and of course, we show you how to sew everything step-by-step.
Welcome to SEWING LIFE MAGAZINE
Sewing Life Magazine is a bi-monthly membership that will teach you new skills and help you improve your sewing.
The Sewing Life Magazine includes pdf patterns in size 34-54/XS-4XL and teaches sewing, fitting and drafting relevant to the pattern, while at the same time offering plenty of style and lifestyle inspiration.
Because to many of us, sewing is not just a skill. It’s a big part of our lives and a big part of our lifestyles.
The goal of this magazine is to show that YOU are the boss of your look and style. And that YOU - no matter your sewing experience, body shape or size - can feel and look great in self-made garments every day!
When you make your own clothes, you have every opportunity to choose your style, your fit and the quality of the garments. If you know how.
Sewing Life Magazine is 10 USD per issue.
How Sewing Life Magazine Works:
Sewing Life Magazine is a bi-monthly membership, that gives you patterns with accompanying magazine with articles on fitting, design changes, sewing techniques, and styling.
The patterns are downloadable PDF-patterns in several print-at-home and copy shop formats. The magazines and instructions are also PDFs that you can read on your tablet, phone, or computer. Or, indeed, print, if you wish.
You can always cancel or skip issues in your membership (it's easy to do by yourself, or you can e-mail costumer service, who will be happy to help you as well) and you will always have access to the issues you own on your member-account at www.sewinglife.com.

BEHIND SEWING LIFE MAGAZINE
HI! - I am Maria Fabæch Moesby – The founder and owner of MariaDenmark Sewing Life LLC.
The goal of Sewing Life Magazine is to show that YOU are the boss of your look and style. And that YOU - no matter your sewing experience, body shape or size - can feel and look great in self-made garments every day!
When you make your own clothes, you have every opportunity to choose your style, your fit and the quality of the garments. If you know how.
That’s why I wanted to create a magazine with a few patterns that offers styling inspiration, sewing and fitting lessons – all in the same package.
I started publishing the magazine in Danish in 2014. Now that I have been doing this for five years, and we have worked out most of the kinks, it’s time to let the rest of the world join in!
So here you go!
Happy Sewing!
