Description
It’s really autumn now here in Somerset. The leaves are falling from our horse chestnut trees and
every now and then I hear a dull “clunk” which tells me that a conker has landed on the roof of our
logs store. A log store which, I might add, is now full of freshly split logs ready for the colder weather
to come.
This month’s magazine has an autumnal feel, with apples, pumpkins, autumn leaves and much
more inside. I am particularly pleased to include my “Bear in a Hat” embroidery as October’s vintage
pattern – how can he be nine years old already?! I also especially enjoyed researching the life of
Louisa Pesel. She was a most remarkable woman, though I hadn’t actually heard of her until I
read (and enjoyed) Tracy Chevalier’s novel “A Single Thread” in which she makes a brief appearance.
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.
