Step By Step Beads is a bead jewelry-making magazine from Interweave Press, in publication since Spring 2003. The magazine is published bi-monthly and features 12-20 bead jewelry projects per issue.

The November/December issue of the magazine will hit newsstands on October 9, and two members of the Etsy BeadWeavers group are featured in the magazine!

Beverly Herman, aka noeasybeads, has an article on Page 22 for an even-count peyote stitch bracelet called Bumps in the Road.

Regina X. Jiron, aka BeadJewelryShopgirl, has an article on Page 48 for a Sophisticated Squares Embellished square stitch bracelet.

Congratulations, Bev and Regina!
