Description
So here we are, the last month of summer – how can this be? The birds are silent now, moulting ready for the winter months to come, whilst this season’s youngsters crowd to our feeders, providing hours of
amusements with their clumsy antics, and in the case of the young starlings, noisy squabbles.
My kitchen garden is blowsy and full-grown, there’s so much produce to choose from – and plenty of ideas for recipes in this month’s “In the Kitchen” section. Vegetables also appear on my Kitchen Garden placemats, whilst there are pears and lavender between the pages too. I’m especially pleased with my pear pin cushion – I’m really enjoying experimenting with printing on fabric using freezer paper – no expensive equipment necessary, all you need is a basic inkjet printer.
No printer needed for another favourite project though – the Blossoms and Bugs notebook cover – all of these would make great ideas for Christmas presents. Christmas is still a way off however, and hopefully there will be plenty of golden late summer days to enjoy before then.
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.
