Description
The October issue of the Bustle & Sew Magazine celebrates autumn, with projects inspired by countryside walks, hedgerow finds and the pleasure of settling down with your stitching as the evenings draw in. The Foraging and Found pouch is perfect for collecting little treasures on your travels, while the Autumn Treasures hoop brings seasonal colour into your home. There’s also a first taste of festive stitching with Holly and Berry, the baby Christmas reindeer, ready to help you get a head start on your Christmas making.
Alongside the patterns, you’ll find articles exploring how to choose the right embroidery thread and why fabric frays, with practical advice to help you understand and enjoy the materials you use. In the kitchen, seasonal recipes make the most of autumn’s ingredients, while the changing countryside and Halloween at the end of the month provide plenty of October inspiration. It’s an issue to enjoy with a cup of tea, your sewing basket close at hand and a little time set aside for yourself.
The Bustle & Sew Magazine is the work of just one woman, me(!) Helen Grimes, the founder of and creative force behind the Bustle & Sew bunny. So if you’re expecting a glossy high-street, high-budget publication, stuffed with adverts and promotions, then this probably isn’t the magazine for you. But if you’re looking for quirky, unusual and fun sewing projects, all with my unique style, and enjoy filling your home with beautiful ideas, then you’re sure to love the Bustle & Sew Magazine.
Although stitching is very much at the heart of each edition, I also include lots of other articles and features. Seasonal recipes, craft ideas, poetry corner and much more besides, all celebrating life here in the English countryside that combine to make this a totally unique publication!
Don’t forget, you are free to sell items you personally have made from Bustle & Sew patterns. All the templates are included at full size, so there’s no awkward re-sizing – no fiddling around with photocopiers or hanging around at printing shops. You can start creating straight away! I don’t mind if you personally want to make items to sell from my patterns, but you are not licensed to go into mass production.
