Mollie Makes

A gorgeous new craft magazine from the UK has hit our shores – check it out at Mag Nation, and read below what they had to say in the latest newsletter – very interesting:

‘You can learn some surprising things by working in a magazine shop. Just like how Google analyses search terms (“runny nose”, “doctors”, “sore throat”) to track flu epidemics, we’ve come to notice that we can get a bit of a taste of the zeitgeist just by surveying magazine sales across our stores.

For instance, if I didn’t work here, I’m pretty sure that I’d have absolutely no idea that there’s a massive craft revival taking place right now. Mags on quilting, scrapbooking, things involving felt and knitting are areas that we’ve watched grow and grow and grow over the last few years. Just recently, it’s got to the point where they’re going absolutely gangbusters… and none more so than a new arrival on our shelves called Mollie Makes.

First published in the UK earlier this year, we’ve just received air freight copies of issue #2. If, like many of our customers, Etsy and crochet and needlework gets your pulse racing then you’ll be kicking yourself if you miss out on this one.’
