Easy top and pants + crochet
I used a Cath Kidston jersey knit for the little top and have so far made 2 pairs of little pants – the kimono ones, and the corduroy pair. On the cord pair I used elastic to gather the waistband and ankles and kimono pair uses vintage silk ribbon. Astrid’s also wearing her new little…

Once in a lifetime
Well, I hope not. But I think the private garage sale we went to last Thursday was indeed a bit of a once in a lifetime event. Polly and I trotted over to her neighbour’s house to go through an entire room brimming with bin bags full of retro fabric, sheets, towels, kitchenware, toys and…
