I use vintage patterns, some of which belonged to my grandmother, with today's fabrics and yarns. I take vintage needlework magazines and work from the patterns in them. The magazines date from 1912 through to the fifties, and I try and use the patterns from them as they would have been originally used. Sometimes I will adapt them and make something else. I prefer to specialize with the thirties and forties patterns and occasionally dip my toe into the fifties.
When I feel the need to bring things up to date, sometimes adapting the original vintage patterns. I also design my own patterns so you can make lovely items too.
Hi Julie :) Ive just spent ages looking through your blogs and having a good old catch up! I love these daffodils and would certainly last longer than the ones from Tesco! lol
These are just darling. I think everyone is so ready for Spring! I found your blog thru Helen Phillips.
