Welcome to the first issue of 2025! Show season is here and we’re looking forward to seeing you all again. Stitches will be celebrating its 50th year – that’s no mean feat – and we can’t wait to explore new trends and see your products in person. As crafters, we all know to see and to
touch is vital with the tactile products we offer. As well as Stitches, we’re excited for the upcoming London Stationery Show and h+h cologne.
This edition, we celebrate new trends – Pantone has released Mocha Mousse as it’s Pantone Colour of the Year and we’ve rounded up plenty of soft, chocolatey-toned products sure to satisfy. We also focus on key themes such as Easter and spring. Who is ready for pastel toned shop displays, chicks, lambs and speckled eggs - me!
Our craft tools section will top up your craft cupboard nicely and our sewing & stitching feature will inspire you to purchase a new pattern or fi nish off the last so you can start afresh!
I do hope you enjoy the issue and I can’t wait to see many of you at Stitches in Birmingham.
Happy reading
