Think cottagecore, then think more – we’re taking vintage prints and delicate florals all the way with our Modern Chintz collection, starring a patchwork throw, mosaic tablecloth and bow-adorned cushions. You’ll also receive an adorable heart-shaped bag charm kit and seven bonus patterns in our Love & Stitches supplement to get you ready for Valentine’s Day.
Our cover star is a cute floral tank top made in West Yorkshire Spinners’ Morris wool, ideal for layering while the weather remains chilly. Check out the matching cushion too! Embellish a blouse with a delicate collar and set of cuffs, hook a fluffy fox in faux fur yarn, and add a waddling, cuddling penguin appliqué to a baby blanket. Accessories this issue include a pastel scarf and a moss stitch cowl – and if you’re still shivering, try our long coatigan on for size.
