COVER
hen it comes to getting noticed, it pays to
have a bright and beautiful bounty to sell.
So this month we're worshipping colour,
from bold, eye-popping primaries, to calming pastels.
With spring 2015 the perfect backdrop, we start with
our felt cover stars, spaceboy and spacedog (p16).
Bold and fun to make, they're perfect for geeky sci-
fans or space-mad pals. Try our sunny-day bike bells
(p27) or buzzing beehive gadget covers (p96) for a
super-quick colour x. Quash the greyest of days with Gretel Parker's
needlefelted tropical bird brooches (p34), Dorothy Wood's stunning
peacock feather earrings (p28) and Susanne Frank's zingy, chevron knit
for young fashionistas (p44).
en,
turn the colour volume down and
soothe your sewing machine with our cool patchwork oor cushion (p66)
and rustic doily pocket bag (p76)– ideal for vintage vixens. Lastly, embrace
natural beauty with a pure lemongrass and poppy seed soap (p60) - a
heaven-scent make you won't want to sell! As always, we've expert reads
on becoming a craft tutor and great packaging ideas, along with all your
favourites: letters, giveaways and more – happy springtime!
