Description
I just love this time of year, as the days grow ever warmer (hopefully!) And the daylight hours
lengthen. The countryside is a mass of blossom, there are lilacs and peonies in the garden and
we can enjoy an abundance of fresh eggs from the chickens with the promise of more produce to
come in the weeks and months ahead.
This month we celebrate the time of year with some lovely seasonal recipes, favourite May time
traditions and the burgeoning countryside around us. This month brings the eightieth anniversary
of VE (Victory in Europe) Day, and so it seemed a good time to write about the courageous wartime
activities of Phyllis Latour, an agent in occupied France. As well as all this of course, there are six
Bustle & Sew patterns and much more besides.
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.
