COVER
ossibly our favourite month, May's for
shrugging off that cardi and building up a safe,
slow glow while in the garden. I like to think
of it as spring's sneaky peek of summer and let's
be honest, who doesn't love barefoot warmth and
sucking up vitamin D in the sun? Yes, we love May!
And in true blossoming fashion, this issue's makes are
fresh, fruitful and fabulous! Try our sweet, needlefelt
cover pets (p16) – they're picture perfect and ready
to make a remarkable prot. Our burlap accessory set (p96), crochet tank
top (p66) and Egyptian seed bead jewellery (p72) are ideal for selling at
vintage fairs, along with this year's biggest oristry trend, terrariums
(p36). Embrace the handmade wedding revolution with our luxury bridal
corsage sash (p28), sticky nougat (p32) and upcycled tins (p60) – the last
two are great ideas for favours. Please trendy toddlers with our cute smock
(p44), and don't forget our felt superheroes (p82) – a great 'thank you' gift
for anyone who's gone above and beyond! After all that, relax with our
unmissable feature about making a best-seller (p41) and enjoy our regular
ow of inspiration and advice. Have a beautiful May!
