IN STITCHES High-tech, app-enabled machines have young Americans making their own clothes. Illustration: Sol CottiTHIS SEPTEMBER, Colin Meredith, a 29-year-old in Vancouver, Canada, went on a six-day camping trip with his brother. More impressive: Meredith, a freelance clothing designer with clients like Rapha, made his tent, sleeping bag and clothes on his home sewing machine. Freelance clothing designer Colin Meredith uses his home sewing machines to churn out a wide variety of jackets, pants and camping gear. When he started sewing this year, Amardeep Singh, 32, got away with using just such a family machine.

THINK OF the bed nook as the fluffy fur-lined Birkenstock of the home: chic, snuggly and engineered to encourage maximum coziness. We spend a lot of time scouting social-media inspiration boards and, as autumn shifts into hibernation high season, nooks seem to be everywhere. Veere Grenney, a London-based interior designer known for insistently inviting nooks, notes that, historically, recessed and curtained beds served a purpose: protecting dreamers from unwelcome drafts. “There’s so much friction in the world right now, the ability to retreat into a safe place at home is very appealing. There’s something embryonic about it.”

Big cocooning energy. Shorter days and bubble baths longer than your housemates might prefer. Ruby Kean, Jones’s partner at the firm, added, “The laissez-faire energy of summer is coming to a close, and that sense of ritual returns, bringing a different way to enjoy your space.”

ONE CULTURAL HAZARD of being Italian: When I buy a cut of pork, I end up inviting the butcher and her family to dinner in my anchovy-tin of a Brooklyn apartment. So I’m used to having more people than seats around our dinner table, often improvising last-minute with an apple box or step stool.
