Introducing Mollie Makes

I happened across this new magazine quite by accident, while roaming around in the blogosphere, one day last month. I’ve been eagerly awaiting its launch ever since. I finally got my hands on a copy earlier in the week and I’m loving it so far.

I spotted in on the shelf in WH Smith and I must admit I was slightly put off by the front cover. I would love to learn to crochet, but jackets for apples? Really?

I was won over by the cute felt kit, which my daughter has already laid claim to for her ipod touch.

The kit was very simple to cut out and I’ll make this one up for her, once I’ve bought some matching thread and then use the pattern to make a few more as gifts.

There is lots of lovely inspiration among the magazines 100 pages and what sold it for me was being able to have a little flick through them. I hate it when mags are sealed inside plastic bags and you can’t have a look, before deciding whether or not to buy. If you fancy a peek then have a look at these sample pages.

Looking forward to next month’s issue. Keep up the good work Miss Mollie.

    Looks interesting, I wonder if it will be available in Aus. I must admit I'm a little put off by the apple jackets too. LOL
