May 2025 – June 2025
ON SALE NOW
Embroidery magazine Mar/Apr issue is out now!
It’s time to let your toes feel the warmth of the sun while you delve inside the May/June issue of Embroidery magazine.
Our cover artist is Susie Vickery, who highlights the impact of climate change and our carbon footprints in her art, which is made using recycled elements. A former costumier, Susie has amassed a fine collection of cloth, but if she can’t find something suitable scours charity shops and even the tip.
And in an article on the theme of reusing graphic mid-century pieces in her work, Anne Kelly explains where she sources her vintage gems.
Our interview this month is with the Great British Sewing Bee’s on-screen fashion historian Amber Butchart, who has curated the exhibition Splash! A Century of Swimming and Style at the Design Museum.
We put Suchitra Mattai’s work reusing and updating classic needlepoints in the spotlight, along with the large, tapestry-like stitched landscape textiles of Michala Gyetvai, monumental Korean blanket art of Seulgi Lee and the offbeat works of Amy Claire Mills.
Encompassing Liverpool Biennial, Bradford 2025: UK City of Culture, London Craft Week, the forthcoming Soft Power exhibition, plus results from the National Embroidery Awards and Viewers’ Choice winner from The Broderers’ Exhibition: The Art of Embroidery, this is an issue not to miss.
We hope you enjoy it!
