We love new products
This is always an exciting time of year for me,
not only because I love the hustle and bustle of
Christmas but also because at Craft Focus it’s a
time when we get exciting insider knowledge of
what new things are in store for crafters for the
forthcoming year.

This issue has turned into a bit of a favourite with trend-led topics in-
cluding the resurrection of crafting for the home and up and coming fabrics
that all stitchers will want to get their hands on. A few weeks ago,
I attended the launch of Zandra Rhodes’ new fabric for FreeSpirt at
her London penthouse apartment, and you can read about it on page 92.
We also cover the latest designs that are giving needle crafting a much-
needed contemporary look and catch up on cutting tool essentials, card

We talk to Prescencia and Korbond this month to see what’s happening
within their businesses, and I was pleased to have the chance to interview
Pat Bravo, the lady behind the well-loved fabric brand, Art Gallery Fabrics.
Sara Davies from Crafter’s Companion explains how understanding your
customers can reap great rewards while Fiona Pullen, author of Craft A
Creative Business, shares why content is king when it comes to your web-
site. ActSmart explains how bespoke gift cards can help businesses cash in
on the run up to Christmas and why these cards are not just for this time
of year only. Wishing you a happy Christmas and a prosperous new year.
Enjoy what’s inside!
