I had a few spare hours in the studio yesterday and decided to use up this blue knit fabric I've had for a while.
I drafted a simple pattern with raglan style sleeves and a pussy bow neckline. I decided to use two darts either side of the waist to bring it in a bit.
Pattern ready for cutting...
Raglan sleeve...
Darts marked...
Pinned...
Sewn...
It turned out ok...
I wore it with my great aunt's marcasite brooch.
So, this style is now available from the shop!

Latest Finds...
I went for a drive down the Mornington Penninsula yesterday and found these:
Vintage linen thread, dressmakers pins in a cute tin and some very old ink...Total price: $4.50
And a Canasta card set! $3.00.
Thrifting can be a little hit and miss. I found nothing at all clothes-wise, but these little things made the trip worth it!

Seven Fold Ties and Gift Vouchers...
A lovely chap called Brendan is getting married and asked me to make him some ties. So I did.
They're a 7 fold traditional design, handsewn and made from satin backed crepe.
I made up little calico pouches to carry them in with care instructions typed on my typewriter.
Thanks Brendan!
Golden Age now does gift vouchers...here is one I made today:
It's typed on the typewriter and backed with a vintage comic page. I feel productive!
