Vintage Fashion Graphics

 Not sure what to make with this vintage fashion graphic but it is worth grabbing while its available.

Perhaps a greeting card - could put "happy birthday gorgeous" on it. Maybe elements for collage or decoupage. Possibilities.

Vintage Kwik Sew's Sweatshirts Unlimited sewing project

A sleepshirt made with Kwik Sew's Sweatshirts Unlimited

What to do when your father needs a new sleepshirt and the shops have none? Sleepwear needs to be roomy and comfy - just like the sweatshirts in this book. 

So I traced off the sweatshirt pattern and lengthened it. Initially I intended to make the crew neck version but after cutting the neckband and sewing the ends together it looked so small. I tried it on and even on me it was snug, so I recut the neckline as the V-neck. 

The cotton spandex fabric was a nuisance to lay out flat and fold but did sew and overlock easily. 

The cutest sloth to sew

 Last post I shared a promotion from Creative Fabrica. They have lots of useful things to inspire the crafter, creator and people who like to make things. Did you know they also have a sewing section?

My new favourite way to get some inspiration.. browsing the books on Book Depository. There are many many needlework and fabric crafts books for sale and it is easy to read a short bit about them, see the cover and get inspired.

Crochet for fun in the sun
