A new craft magazine helpful for sellers?

I hate magazines that are in plastic bags! I like to flick through in the shop to see if I want to buy it if I can't have a look I just won't buy it in case there is nothing that interests me.

will have a look in smiths then but i have the book handmade market place advertised on the front am wondering if it is same kind of stuff in side,annoying that you cant look at it properly

I've not heard of that one before so thanks for the heads up. There has been a few new magazines out recently which is great for crafting. I mainly do fabric so nice to see ones that aren't paper or x-stitch. I got Mollie Makes recenlty too and that one is lovely. They are all so expensive though. I nearly bought Simply Homemade (I think that's what it was called) and it was £8! I'm afraid I put that one back on the shelf.

£8 crikey they have really whacked price up on that,i did see mollie makes in sainsburys last week

No Mollie Makes in Sainburys today but I picked up a copy of Simply Homemade and have flicked through it - looks better that the last one I bought and I didn't bother buying last month's as that didn't have much to interest me from looking at the cover!

Craftygranny - that is appalling service - hope you get it sorted out soon.

I find it very hard to find good sewing magazines as they tend to be mostly card or cross stitch
I don't mind a little of everything but they always give you free backing papers (I give them to my mum as she is the card crafter in the family) but sometimes I wish they would give something else perhaps some beads or thread

LJM

that would be lovely if they did i agree i make cards,do scrapbooking sewing and jewellery making but there is no variety in the free gifts etc

Just like flicking through the magazine in the newsagents

I did find a download link to some nice modern background papers too, there's a small papercraft section on cardmaking.
