Lara Watson, Editor of Mollie Makes, says: "We're so proud of Mollie Makes' little sister, Gathered. A year on, with 52 interactive digital issues on Apple Newsstand, it's been an exciting, fast-paced and innovative magazine for our talented team to put together. This birthday issue is especially jam-packed with projects, inspiring videos and features. We can't wait to see what Gathered's second year holds."
