Description
As the countryside around Station House returns to life, I have found myself inspired by the
beauty unfolding outside my windows. From delicate florals to soft, natural textures, the
countryside offers so many ideas for projects that celebrate the season. We are lucky enough
to be able to watch the hares in the surrounding fields, and this, together with my enjoyment of
the recent season of Bridgerton, inspired the Arabella Leveret project which I do hope you’ll
enjoy stitching as much as I did. Another favourite design was the patchwork journal cover –
perfect for recording the growing season in my Kitchen Garden!
Inside you’ll also find a feature on Indian block printed textiles, exploring their heritage,
craftsmanship, and the timeless charm they bring to modern sewing projects. Alongside this, I
take a nostalgic look at vintage feed sacks and include a selection of fresh, seasonal recipes to
enjoy between projects. Light, comforting, and full of flavour, they’re perfect for bringing a little
extra joy to your sewing days.
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.
