This week's recommended reading

I was having a terrible day yesterday, so I treated myself to a very rare treat indeed, the latest Rowan magazine (issue 46). I was waiting for my friend in the haberdashery department of John Lewis - bad place to loiter, I know - and flicking through when two things caught my eye.

The whole issue has an industrial theme, lots of lovely patterns, and some great historical articles. Of the three issues I've ever bought (these things are £11.50, you know) I actually only paid full price for this most recent one, eBay is a good place to seek them out.

Speaking of magazines, I've been lucky enough to be interviewed by Angelica at Handmade News - clicky here for reading!

Anyone want to be interviewed for my 'answers on a postcard' project? Leave a comment here, or email me to Katy [at] girlindustries dot com. Thanks, and happy weekend!
