Best sewing magazine?

I've just started to sew, I'm a total beginner but have done a few workshops & am gaining the confidence to try a few things on my own now. My mum has offered to buy me a subscription to a sewing magazine for Christmas, are there any that are any good and that you would recommend? I can't afford to buy them all to try, and there are so many around!

I think the best sewing magazine ever is Ottobre - but mostly for patterns and not for learning how to sew.
I would prefer a few courses on crafty.com as a present.

Wrt magazines, I found Molly makes particularly disappointing. Like Pinterest in a magazine format.

I like Love Sewing and Sew. Avoid Molly Makes unless you're keen on crocheting vegetables and amarguri or whatever it's called.

Thank you, I'll look out for both of those to try out.
