Description
In this issue, our projects celebrate February’s gentle mix of romance, practicality, and quiet creativity. Leading the way is a charming Cupid hoop, perfect for the month of love, but timeless enough to enjoy long after Valentine’s Day has passed. Then there’s the springtime flowers drawstring bag flowers stitched onto a drawstring bag. This, I think, is a satisfying project that combines beauty and usefulness. Inspired by winter-to-spring blooms, these floral motifs bring softness and colour to an everyday essential, making it ideal for storing sewing tools, carrying small finds, or gifting to someone special. There are four more projects too, as well as seasonal recipes, a look at the history of the embroidery hoop and the British Land Amy in WW2.
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.
