Four days of craft heaven start today at Spinningfields, Manchester. It’s definitely worth the trip to come and see some of the best young designers Britain has to offer. The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair (GNNCF) covers all kinds of crafts, textiles, jewellery, paper, ceramics, furniture and fashion. Make no mistake, this is the best of British talent…
Well… have you seen Let’s Get Hitched yet? The latest issue of Mollie Makes comes with a free beautiful wedding magazine. Even if you’re not getting married, you’ll fall in love with the endless joyful ways to make a celebration something special. And just to get you dreaming, let’s get into the vintage spirit…
It’s freebie time! Get your free issue of Mollie Makes issue one on the Apple newsstand. We’re just a few days away from our first birthday and this free copy of the magazine is one of our ways of saying thank you for your support over the past year. (More exciting news about our birthday issue on Friday. We are bursting to tell you, but our lips are sealed for now – so don’t even try to sneak any more from us!)
Issue one Mollie Makes launched just over a year ago and was a sell-out. The cover features the now iconic crochet apple jackets and our editor’s highly insured and elegant pair of hands. It’s now only available in digital version, and Apple users can download it for free, as just one of the special things coming your way to celebrate Mollie Makes’ birthday issue, on sale 11th May…
Everything deserves to be warm, and nothing more so than the humble breakfast egg. If you’re loving our current issue’s cover star egg cosies here are some other delights to add to your collection… Perfect gifts for Easter and a great way to start the day!
Doilies and spring time go together like Easter and bunnies, and we’re feeling inspired by Donna Bramhall’s sweater makeover in issue 12 of Mollie Makes. Donna has used doilies to transform a plain top, but we can’t stop with clothing. We’ve got lots of doilies tucked away in drawers just waiting to have their moment. Try these ideas for adding prettiness to your home…
While we’re hot footing it off to the Stitch and Craft Show this weekend, our diaries and wish lists are fast filling up with other great dates for spring. We just wish we had more time! We’ve handpicked four of our favourites…
Just over a week to go until the Stitch and Craft Show at Olympia in London… Come and say hi – we’ll be glamping it up in our luxury patchwork yurt. You won’t be able to miss us…
Eeek! There’s a mouse in the house… Not to fret though, these are just the kinda mice we like. Knitted, crocheted, thrifted and sewn…
Dutch design just makes us swoon. Simple as. Today, we’re super-excited to interview Eline Pellinkhof, crafter, designer and illustrator extraordinaire, and get a peek behind the scenes of her latest book, Eline’s Winterhuis.
