There's a new kid on the block - Make It Mine Magazine
Have you seen it yet? The premier issue is on the newstands. It's a little like Adorn, all about embellishing clothes and projects, and actually has some potentially fun possiblities. I'm so happy to see more magazines embracing the whole reuse, recycle and refashion philosophy. I have a major magazine obsession, and I love all the craft ideas that are being explored lately. Have you also noticed how the big-time magazines are scoping out and recognizing independent artists and crafters? I love that! It's so inspiring to me read about all the inventive women out there who are continually doing what they love and living their passions.
New magazines are still very fun (at least for me!). I had found a call for submissions to Make It Mine way back sometime over the summer - they have a little gallery on aprons, and of course, I had to submit. They did accept one of my aprons, and here it is!
I had totally forgotten about it, and Beki emailed me Sunday night that she found it, and low and behond, there it was! It's always a thrill to see one of your creations in print - sorry for bad scan, I'm not very good with that machine! There's a little bio-blurb that they kind of chopped up a bit, but you get the gist, and if you've been reading my blog for any amount of time, I think you know what I mean! So, if you see Make It Mine, pick up a copy and check it out! I'm curious to see what you think!
You can also check them out online right here - and check out the submission section right here - it looks like they are looking for how-to articles, step-by-step techniques, profiles & artists' galleries. It's always worth a query, because you just never know...you know? ;)
I think this is so cool!

Hey girl! Check out my recap of Stitch (an indie bazaar in Austin, TX). I am giving away two swag bags & inside is a copy of this issue! Woohoo. Gotta love that!

Congrats! It's a GREAT magazine and I was very excited to have found it. I noticed your apron right away when I browsed through the magazine. It reminds me a bit of a cross between Adorn and Altered Couture. I already have a few ideas brewing in my mind inspired by some of the projects. I currently have a giveway on my blog for the magazine as the publisher generously sent me a copy as well as some to give away.

That looks like a fun magazine. I'll have to head to Barnes & Noble tomorrow and pick up a copy.
I love to see blog friends make it into the publications. I get so excited for you!

Can't wait to check out that magazine! Have you seen that Victoria magazine is out again? I used to love that because it always featured creative/entrepreneurial (sp?) women.

When your apron arrived in the office, everyone was oohhing and aahhing over it, so know that it was well-appreciated while it was at the Make It Mine labs! Thanks for being part of the first issue and for the shout-out!
