Ahh, every time a new issue of *bespoke* goes out into the world, I feel like a proud mama!

I also think every issue is better than the last one, but perhaps that’s just hubris talking.

Anyhoo, I am SO happy that Issue 5 is now in the hands of many, many lovely people – I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of this Summer Issue!

For those of you who are kinda new around here, *bespoke* is a quarterly independent magazine, published by me, and it’s written for and by the creative and craft community.

Each issue is full of interviews, stories, recipes, reviews, tutorials, art and craft features, vintage goodness and more – wrapped up in a pretty little A5 package.

Yep, that’s right – in this world of e-zines, it’s a tactile treat – a PRINT zine – though it’s also available in digi format for those who prefer that.

Here’s a little peek or two inside this Issue:

Part of our Collaborations Feature

Part of the Thrive Interview with Cherie Interro

An article on how to keep the memories of old handmade items alive… by re-creating them!

I realised that I haven’t spent much time here on ED detailing the process of creating *bespoke* – would you guys be interested in a little ‘making-of’ series detailing the ins-and-outs and ups-and-downs of self-publishing a magazine?

P.S. I’m looking to interview some crafty blokes for the next issue – so if you know of any, send them my way – jess AT bespokezine.com

P.P.S. Of course, I’m also always looking for submissions of any type – don’t be shy!
