Here's their description of the contents:
Quote: BOLD PATTERNS AND MINIMALISM
Beautiful dresses, a blouse and a pencil skirt for special occasions and socializing in summer. A fabulous biker jacket in linen, pleated pants and a viscose jersey top. A jersey dress and stretch cotton pants in wild animal prints. A delicious jersey blazer and a jersey top. A plain-cut ramie coat and narrow-leg pants.
LAID-BACK SUMMER PIECES
Narrow floral pants and snazzy shorts paired with a voile blouse and a draped tunic. Easy-wear viscose jersey dresses and a sundress from bold border-print fabric. A special-occasion dress and blouse in silk, and a pencil skirt in floral satin. A much-requested knotted tunic and flared stretch linen pants. ------ http://sewingnovice.blogspot.co.uk/
One woman. One sewing machine. One giant stack of fabric. What could possibly go wrong? |

I live in Canada, and the easiest way to get this magazine is by subscription directly from Ottobre. They're extremely efficient and the cost is VERY reasonable, even including shipping. You do have to sign up for two issues (= one year, since it comes out twice a year), and if you don't cancel or renew fairly soon after the end of your subscription, they will automatically send you the next issue and bill you. But they're amazing to deal with, so that's a pretty minor worry.

You can buy single issues (including upcoming issues) by going to the subscription page and clicking on the "single issue" tab. ------ chris
