I've been offering my free newsletter for over a year now and during that time have seen numbers grow from less than 100 to several thousand!! Over Christmas I was wondering how I could improve my newsletter and give more goodies to my lovely subscribers. The answer was that I couldn't unless I started making a small charge for and so the idea for the Bustle & Sew Magazine came to me .....

Some Bustle & Sew patterns |
For a (very small) monthly charge of $2.50, each month magazine subscribers will receive 3 new original Bustle & Sew designs (total normal value $10.50). These will include new Rosie and Bear patterns as they become available. They will also receive one vintage knitting and one crochet pattern plus additional vintage embroidery designs and patterns. I hope over time to include articles and input from other bloggers and craftspeople out there (if you'd like to contribute then please do email me!)
I will be continuing with my free newsletter of course as it's a great way to keep in touch with fellow enthusiasts, but there won't be any free original patterns in the free newsletter, though I'll still include special offers, Bustle & Sew news and vintage designs.
Any queries, please do email me or leave a comment below.

ReplyDeleteHi Ellie,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering... to pay for the subscription is it an automatic monthly charge or is the invoice sent each month?
Thanks in Advance!
