Hello, everybody! Unfortunately we are completely sold out now of all 9 issues that ever existed (thanks to our stockists who helped selling them!). But anyhow, here is an overview of our last one, issue #9:

Welcome to MAKING PEACE, issue #9 of World Sweet World, the magazine for makers and doers. Split into two parts, it has beautifully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for making cool stuff, followed by articles about people or stories on sustainable living, and, in general, things that we hope you’ll find inspiring.

Here’s a sneak preview of issue #9:

One of our favourite parts of putting each new issue together has been commissioning new artwork by such incredibly talented illustrators. We’ve drooled over Devon Smith’s work in Swonderful here in Welly, and were a couple of excited children when she got in touch two months ago to say she’d like to contribute. We’re thrilled with the work she’s done for the cover, and also the adorable illustrations by Sarah McNeil for the Crafty Business article on page 46.

We’ve got a how-to on a bike trailer to help carry your heavy load, a wallet made of fused plastic, and a lamp made out of a fishing rod to light up your life. We’re happy to give you insight to “A family affair” at Martha’s Pantry, and enjoyed learning spinning with Johanna Knox. Hope you’ll enjoy all of this just as much, along with the rest of the content we’ve rounded up in this issue.

All the best from
