New Magazine -simply homemade

wen-tom

Picked up a copy of this new mag today to amuse myself whilst at work. Seems to have a nice mix of different things. Anyone else seen / bought it?

Yes I bought it yesterday. It is a really nice mag, hope it stays as interesting. There are some free Molly Bloom stamps with it and some Kaisercraft papers. I used the stamps today but I didn't think they stamped that well and some of them would not stay stuck on my acrylic block. Lots of nice ideas in the magazine and I took much longer reading it than I would my normal card mag!!

I saw it today. How much is it and is it worth buying, when there are so many tutorials on the net?

Also, any idea when 'Sew' is out?

It's £3.99 - I found it to be nice and full of ideas. Sometimes it's nice to have a mag to hand rather than have to search for tutorials but I guess it's up to you!

I bought mine in Tesco yesterday.

I got mine in Morrisons. It has some really nice idea's in there. I do like to have a mag to flick through though. I watch quite a lot of internet tutorials but I guess you have to search for the topic where I find a mag can give me new ideas :j

I think I will buy it again if it stays 'different'. I bought "Making' Magazine once and wasn't so keen on that. I liked the look of it on the cover but it didn't impress... although I did win a glue gun on their give away so maybe I should have given it more of a chance

Thanks, I'll have another look at it tomorrow then. I was in a bit of a hurry today.

'Sew' is a different magazine and I'm not sure if it's new, I've only bought the last two issues.

I liked it too, though I haven't tried the stamps yet. The free papers are from Kaisercraft and are 'Home and Family' themed. There are also quite a few templates in the mag too.

Some of the step by step projects they have got are:

How to make a bag from a jumper/cardi
and how to make a bag froman old pair of denim jeans

Making soaps using 'Melt & Pour

Needle Case, Trinket Box, Pincushion, Greetings card and Brooch with felt - all with a cupcake design

Knitted cushion

Stencilling your bathroom accessories

I'd get it again too, I like it!

I would like to read the soap making tut may be a trip to morrisons thanks girls for info
