Mollie Makes’ latest issues

Hi makers! We’ve got a brand new issue to get you in the mood for autumn. Issue 121 is now on sale and it’s got a little bit of everything – some chunky knitting, new techniques and a sprinkling of (whisper it) early Christmas joy. Plus, you’ll get two amazing gifts when you buy your mag in store – a tasselled crochet wall hanging kit and a fancy bamboo crochet hook. You’ll be able to find a copy in most UK supermarkets, WHSmith, Hobbycraft or online here. So without further ado here’s our fall-inspired issue.

This month’s special papers

Issue 121 has some very special papers that we think you’re going to love. Designed by the ultimate duo, illustrator Betty Joy and papercraft queen Sarah Matthews, this issue’s papers can be turned into a the cutest gingerbread houses that double as gift boxes. Pop a treat inside for a pal, use them as Christmassy décor, or copy the template and make an advent calendar village! Make sure you pick up a copy of 121 to get yours.

Meet Nicole Crowder and Kate McGuire

In issue 121 we sat down with the wonderful Nicole Crowder, a Washington-based upholstery designer who creates incredible furniture. Nicole shows us it’s never too late to change your career and make a successful business from craft.

Oxfam has also just launched Second Hand September, an initiative encouraging people to pledge shopping second-hand only for 30 days or more. We love shopping second-hand and are always looking for ways to be more sustainable, so we were super inspired by Kate McGuire, creator of Converted Closet, as she shows people how to turn neglected clothes into fashionable new garments.

Pick up a copy of 121 to read both these lovely ladies’ stories. You’ll come away feeling inspired and ready to craft!

We hope you love 121 as much as we do! We’ve got some amazing social takeovers lined up too, so make sure you’re following us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. And, if you want to get the next issue of Mollie delivered straight to your door, click here to subscribe.
