I’m a little out of the loop when it comes to craft magazines (first I have to get caught up on my New Yorker subscription—ha), but an issue of Homespun magazine from Australia arrived in the mail this week, and I just have to share.
With gorgeous design and paper stock (plus a generous page count), this magazine is really a delight to peruse. It’s in my hands because they were nice enough to include some of my tiny knits in a feature on miniature crafting! (And nice enough to send a hard copy instead of a PDF, which I appreciate.)
I’m honored to have my projects shown alongside some truly remarkable tiny things—yay mini needle-felted Ewok!—but mainly I’m just excited to come across such a cool magazine. Just look at this intro to a project for a felt bag.
I love the dramatic black background and the use of space here. Plus illustrations! It feels like to editorial team really cares about bringing their readers something special.
So, those of you who are both crafters and design snobs, try to get your hands on Homespun!
What are those tiny things in your hands?
Bonney, I think it’s a tiny sewing machine. I had to zoom on my iPhone. Also, I listened to a Mom on Pop podcast and it was fun! Can’t wait to hear more.
You are correct, Christi!
Wow! Congrats on getting your tiny sewing machine featured! This seems like a super fun magazine…I’ll probably subscribe. :)
