Selvedge Magazine - Issue 133: Kin

Selvedge is the world's leading textile magazine, celebrating cloth made with time, thought and skill through intelligent writing, beautiful photography and original illustration.

Issue 133, Kin, is all about how textile skills and stories pass between generations. Founder Polly Leonard reflects on families gathering over sewing baskets and talking through cloth. The issue looks at how children first meet textiles, through the clothes they wear, the toys they love and the games they play. It also explores how hand skills differ across cultures and communities. In a world of algorithmic speed, Selvedge makes the case for teaching the next generation to thread a needle, and for why it matters that they do.

This holiday issue also includes a gift guide of independent makers. It's a beautiful, collectable read for anyone who loves to make.
