Now the madness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday is out of the way I wanted to write about the future of the Bustle & Sew Magazine.
Reaching Retirement Age
As you may know the Magazine began life in 2011 as a simple collection of three or four patterns, plus one or two short articles. I’ve been producing it (and absolutely loved doing so) for the last nearly fifteen years. It’s expanded to around eighty pages, with each edition containing six patterns, recipes, articles on all kinds of interesting topics from gardening to embroidery, arts and crafts, country life and the natural world. And there isn’t any advertising or sponsorship, just pure content.
However, time marches on and, as the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end.” We’re not at the end of the Bustle & Sew Magazine just yet, but putting the whole magazine together each month is quite intense and in September 2027 I will reach retirement age (currently 67 in the UK). I am anticipating that at that time I will want to slow down, at least a little! So Issue 200, September 2027 will be the very last edition of the Bustle & Sew Magazine in its present form. Bustle & Sew will still continue though and I’ll be sure to keep in touch about future plans. Anyway, I’m beginning to ramble….
The Final Twenty Issues
I have decided to offer the final twenty issues of the Bustle & Sew Magazine for a single payment of just US$50. (currently around £37.50). This is equivalent to just $2.50 per issue (again, rather neatly, this was the original price of the first issue).
If you decide to purchase the Final Twenty Issues subscription, you will receive issues 181 – 200 on a monthly basis between January 2026 and September 2027 when the final magazine will arrive in your inbox.
If you’d like to learn more about the Final Twenty Issues subscription please click on the image above to find out more. This subscription will be available until mid-January only and won’t ever be repeated.
Monthly subscriptions will continue as normal, and annual subscriptions will still be available to purchase until September 2026.
