Mollie Makes -- I'm Lovin' It

I was first introduced to Mollie Makes from the delightful Dottie Angel.

I had bought this Mollie Makes magazine a couple of days before my husband's foot got infected this summer.  As I was running out the door to go visit him in the hospital, I grabbed the magazine and then ran to my sewing room to grab a crochet hook and some yarn.

I had no idea what size hook or gauge of yarn was called for...I just grabbed because I was in a hurry.

And, of course I pulled an apple out of the refrigerator :)

So when my little gals were home with their big sister and my husband slept in the hospital, I crocheted.  And, it was a great stress reliever and diversion.

This is actually very old string and not yarn, always love string.

It took me a few weeks to get the buttons sewed on and then longer to get the pictures taken!

Now, "Why would apples need jackets?" you may ask.


"Why not?"


They are just too cute!

If you are new to Mollie Makes, you can find their site here.  The magazine is available at Barnes and Noble and Joann Fabrics in the United States or by subscription.  I did a search for used copies on Ebay and the prices were kind of surprising!
(I may sell mine after all my apples are cozy!) 

I love creative videos.

The jackets also fit oranges!  But, that's just silly, why would an orange need a jacket?!

I'm linking up this week with Tidy Mom's I'm Lovin' It Friday blog party, because I'm lovin' these Apple Jackets and Mollie Makes!
