Description
This summer seems to be absolutely flying past and I can hardly believe it’s August already. But
the wheat planted in the field next to our house has turned from green to gold and I expect the
farmer will be out harvesting before too much longer.
August is, I always think, a month of green and gold. The trees are are dark dusty green, there
are blackberries in the hedgerows and the first signs that the season of Autumn will soon be here.
But the days are still long and warm, and the chickens that live in our Kitchen Garden are still laying
plenty of eggs, though Betty is moulting madly – her tail is reduced to a single feather – and she
looks quite ridiculous, though I haven’t the heart to tell her so!
Green and gold is the theme of this month’s issue, from nasturtiums, to Miffy’s jumper(!) And I’ve
included just one of my Twelve Days of Christmas designs – the Partridge in the Pear Tree, with
golden yellow pears of course! I won’t be including any more of these in the magazine but I thought
this made a nice stand alone project.
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.
