HOW CRAFTER ABBIE WALSH CAUGHT THE EYE OF THE OSCAR-WINNER WITH HER VINTAGE MAKES...
“I’VE CRAFTED FOR DAME JUDI!”

Welcome

Customers will go cuckoo for
our crocheted clock! They are
huge sellers everywhere
e've got that 'new pencil case' feeling here
in the
Craftseller
office! Yes, it's that time
of year when mums nationwide are gearing
up for frantic mornings packed with bustling kids
into coats, hunting for school bags and regularly
despairing, "where are your shoes? We can't go
anywhere without your shoes…"
So, with that in mind, we have an issue full of
crafty ideas catering specifically for back-to-school
shoppers. We have a genuis felt fox pencil case with detachable accessories
including cute little glasses, moustache and bowler hat (p.72); cross stitch
bookmarks in pretty silhouette designs (p.94); and an upcycled height
ruler to keep check on those ever-growing kids (p.60). And of course,
in keeping with our cool school vibe, we have our adorable cover stars
on page 16, the felt and fabric first-daters! Great for collectors, this pair
definitely have a feel of smitten, nervy new schoolers…
Feature-wise, we have ten ideas for craft sellers tapping into the back-to-
school market (p.80) and over on page 43, we walk you through starting
your dream life working from home, making a living from your hobby –
yes, it really is possible! Tuck in and enjoy. See you soon!
