I have always been a big fan of selvedge magazine, its lovely square format, luscious images and informative articles are a sure fire combination. Unfortunately it is quite expensive here is Australia and so I usually browse through the magazine at the library or at the book store. Which is why I was pretty excited to be offered an online subscription in return for an evaluation. I don’t really subscribe to any/many online magazines, but am pretty sure there are some standard features – like clickable URLs (very handy) zoom features and easy viewing/navigation of the contents. The online version of Selvedge has these lovely features – it is easy to navigate and it will zoom up to full screen to allow easy reading of text and there are lots of lovely links to follow.
During my library/book shop browsing of Selvedge, I always find lots of fabulous features I mean to follow up but of course I usually forget. So it is very nice to have it in front of you so you can click on websites and check out the featured artists directly. Also links back to the main selvedge website takes you to their shop and free online patterns. The latest online edition of selvedge (and hardcopy) offers a free pattern to a habu shopping bag – there is a lovely anecdote from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, an article on endangered breeds of sheep, and lots lots more. Highly recommended.
