The new issue of Mollie Makes is out and is full of inspiring things to do and people’s crafty homes to look in.
In the last issue I wrote a mental list to try all the things that inspired me (including the iPod cover kit which came on the front) and then never did a stitch! So this time I jumped right in and made the project on the cover. These are little strawberries stuffed with lavender and are really easy to do. It’s been a great little hand sewing project to pick up over this weekend and the instructions were really clear and easy to follow.
There was a lot to inspire in this issue, like this embroidery that I fancy trying next…
…and this lovely inspiring house belonging to a vintage shop owner in Bridport.
I do still think that a fiver is a tad over priced for Mollie Makes compared to other magazines and how it takes to read them but as I found a pound in the shopping trolley I feel like I got a bargain!

Just beautiful! Love those strawberries!
Oh, and your rose!! I am a bit rose crazy and have been enjoying discovering each of the roses blooming here. None I like as much as the ones I planted in Cleveland and none are as stunning as your beautiful specimen!

Like Jenny I still haven’t seen a copy of Molly Makes, so thank you for sharing … I’m not sure it’s something I’d buy, but it’s nice to take a peak and someone else’s copy

Gosh! Such a thrill to see what you’ve made here! I love them! And I’m so glad you found the instructions easy and clear (phew! Means I’ve done my job OK). Keep making more, won’t you!

You’re strawberries look fantastic. I haven’t found a copy of Mollie Makes but another crafter has promised to send me the first two copies so I will get to read through them and then pass them on again.
