The Crafting Magazine Revolution

We're loving the Crafting magazine revolution! There are suddenly loads of them & they're an intriguing mix of retro crafting & new ideas. The very best of them leave you desperate to try making some of the projects that are so temptingly protrayed in their pages & stand up to being read again & again during (sometimes very frequent) coffee breaks.
I (Camilla) admit that my current favourite is the new Mollie Makes magazine, I love everything about it from the quality paper pages & cover (according to a friend in the magazine printing trade it's also really expensive) to the interviews with crafters from around the world & the crocheted apple covers project - completely frivolous & utterly gorgeous!

I'm also enjoying Handmade Living & Making & was intrigued to read the new Craft Seller magazine although it seems a little naive (one day someone will write an article about starting your own business that gives you all the negatives aswell as the positives). However the most exciting thing about reading these craft magazines is when we see items that we sell advertised on the pages. For example reading through Homestyle Sewing we saw the Tilda Springtime Tins £14.90 available on our Lovely & Lovely site under Miscelaneously Lovely http://www.lovelyandlovely.co.uk/page22.htm

Sewing in No Time £14.99 & The Perfect Handmade bag £12.99 both available on our Lovely Fabrics site: http://www.lovelyfabrics.co.uk/page2.htm 

Anyway for whatever reason you pick up a magazine, we hope you enjoy reading it!

Bye for now
