Description
As I write this we are enjoying the first real summer weather of the year. The skies are blue, the sun is
shining and, instead of a howling gale, there is a gentle breeze across the patio, cooling and refreshing
rather than an arctic blast! Summer has arrived between the pages of this month’s edition too as we visit Sicily (limoncello anyone?), take a dip in the lido and attach a pair of beautiful bug tags to our suitcases, ready for the annual getaway. There are summer recipes a-plenty too as well as a look at the history of the zipper and grandma’s ironing day.
Of course July is traditionally the month when the well-organised stitcher begins their Christmas projects so, with this in mind, you’ll also find the first of this year’s Christmas designs between the covers, with more to come over the next few months.
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.
