Description
July brings high, high summer – and for us stitchers the first of the Christmas projects! I did manage
to combine this month’s seaside theme with Christmas though with a little seagull in a Santa hat
ornament. He’s a very quick make and would be great for fund raising events in the run up to the
festive season.
The only non-coastal themed project in this month’s issue is the Summer Sunsets hoop. There
aren’t very many designs that I don’t want to come to the end of, but this was definitely one of
them. I’m hoping to find time to embroider a similar design onto what is currently a very ordinary
cotton jacket hanging in my wardrobe. I love adding to basic items with a little embroidery – and
the shellfish napkins are a good example of this – turning quite ordinary items into something on
trend and a little bit special for those summer events.
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.
