Several months ago I received a lovely message from an editor at a UK magazine. She asked whether they could feature my blog as “Blog of the Month” in their December issue of Sew Home. I didn’t hesitate for a moment — I was thrilled and immediately said yes.
The magazine has now gone on sale, and I’m excited to share the news and the images they kindly provided. Below is the magazine cover image they sent.
If you’re in the UK you may be able to pick up a copy at newsstands and bookstores. I haven’t been able to find a physical copy here in Canada yet, but the editor kindly sent me a digital scan of the feature page that highlights Harbour Breeze, and she allowed me to share that image with you. Here is the feature page they created for the blog.
I adore the little editorial change they made — they swapped my “mom” for the UK-familiar “mum,” which felt like a charming touch and made me smile. It’s a small example of how editors adapt content for their audience, and I appreciated the thoughtful styling of the piece.
This feature means a great deal to me. Being chosen as a blog of the month in Sew Home — a publication focused on sewing and home crafting — is a lovely recognition of the projects and posts I share at Harbour Breeze. It’s especially meaningful because it reaches readers across the UK who enjoy sewing, handmade projects, and ideas for home creativity.
I’m grateful to the editor and the entire Sew Home team for their kindness and for taking the time to introduce Harbour Breeze to their readership. The process of working with the magazine was smooth and professional, and the finished layout looks beautiful. Seeing my work presented in print, with thoughtful captions and an attractive arrangement, is a memorable experience.
To readers who’re discovering Harbour Breeze through the magazine: welcome! My blog is a space where I share creative ideas, practical projects, and things that inspire me in the home and crafting world. I love connecting with people who enjoy making things by hand and who appreciate thoughtful, approachable design. If you’ve enjoyed the feature or have a question, I’d love to hear from you — your comments and messages are always welcome.
For anyone curious about the magazine: Sew Home offers a range of articles and features for sewing enthusiasts, covering techniques, patterns, and home sewing projects. Seeing Harbour Breeze included alongside such content is an honor and a reason for celebration here at the blog.
Finally, a heartfelt thank-you to Sew Home for the lovely feature and for introducing Harbour Breeze to a wider audience. And to my readers in the UK: if you spot the December issue, I hope you enjoy the feature. Someday I’d love to visit and tour your beautiful country — it would be wonderful to meet readers and fellow makers in person.
