How do we navigate a change in the seasons here at LE? We embrace them! Join us this issue as we lean into autumn with how-tos for embroidered leaves, beaded pumpkins, felt acorns, bushy-tailed foxes, cosy banners, glittering spider webs, and of course, enchanting toadstools – all stitched up in a fiery, fall palette. And it’s not just our homes that are getting the autumn treatment. In this issue’s Stitch your Style booklet, Mollie Johanson is showing us how to enhance our wardrobes, including a few seasonal staples – like turtle neck jumpers – with thread using just a handful of beginner-friendly motifs and stitches. Plus, there's Lucy Freeman's stunning dungarees hack on p24 and Jessie Newton's speedy toadstool socks on p43 to try too. Let cosy season commence!
