Our blog is dedicated to seasonal living: cooking with local produce (sometimes our own), sewing for the home and searching out vintage bargains.

We believe that most of the pleasure is in the journey - in the making and creating, even if in a simple way.

Now for a touch of style...

...not that you need any tips from me.  But I would like to show you a few possible ideas for spring.

 

 A useful source could be this magazine I bought for a few pence from a charity shop.

 

First of all of course there's all the equipment needed.

 

Just follow the instructions and a few hours later you too could be the proud wearer of one of these fab outfits...very 1970s!

The magazine is dated 1973.  Despite that there's loads of useful advice...if I ever decide to take up crochet again, I'll be reading this first.


A few more fun purchases - a couple of remnants of fabric, one Sanderson from 1981, not sure about the other, and loads of buttons.  Noreen gave me some of these...can't wait to use them.

    It's great seeing all the past fashion styles. I wish I could get to look at some old clothes catalogues from different eras. x
