Description

A very special welcome to this, the festive edition (and the last edition of 2024 – wherever did
that year go?) of the Bustle & Sew Magazine.  Between the covers, as well as all the excitement of the season, there are some lovely stitching projects to offer you some more tranquil moments in the midst of the countdown to the “Big Day” itself.

We look at the history of some decorations, consider the impact of AI on embroidery
and bake very tasty mince pies s well as enjoy some Christmas and winter-themed projects.
This is such a magical time to spend with friends and family, and the quiet “between time”
between Christmas and New Year offers us all a much-needed moment to pause and rest,
reflect or make resolutions and plans for the year ahead. (As well as indulge in some peaceful
stitching times!)

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.
