*bespoke* Issue 6 is Now Available for Pre-Order!

Posted by Jess on Mar 5, 2012 in News | 0 comments

Hooray! And happy Monday, friends.

I’m very excited to announce that Issue 6 of *bespoke* is now available for pre-order. It’s being printed and bound, and will be delivered to my door very, very soon!

This issue has a focus on crafty couples and crafty guys – it’s not just women who are growing crafty businesses – though it can seem like that sometimes. There are interviews with the lovely Reuben and Katie from House of Humble, Ben from Rebound Books, and crafty guys behind The Whittler and Marcello Neckwear.

There’s an article all about the new fashion trend that Melanie calls ‘Mintage’; and Sophie shares her Top 5 Tips for Thrifting up a Storm.

You’ll learn how to make a box cushion, and little boxes full of memories, too. Cassie writes a review of Pip Lincolne’s Sew La Tea Do, and Jane cooks and reviews a vintage Queen’s Cake recipe.

Meegan writes about the perils of caging our creativity, and there are stories from a number of artists, and crafters, as well as from people sharing the vintage items they cherish.

Finally, a very big THANK YOU to Felicity Gardner for our gorgeous cover girl this issue!

Here’s a little peek inside…

If you’d like to be one of the first to get a print copy of Issue 6 in your hands, pop on over here to pre-order - or, you still have time to subscribe and get Issue 6 included.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make Issue 6 a reality – I could NOT have done this without you!
