New knitting basket



Just a quick one my knitting basket broke (because I stood on it) and so while it was disassembled I decided to change the fabric on it from the grey flowery one that it had on before to this material and the sides which are made out of jeans. I used the original as a pattern and sewed it up on my bernina although I had to do the bottom by hand x
Just a not i got the fabric (polyester i think) from a church sale x

Vintage finds



So this is what I got at the vintage fair a couple of weeks ago, (I apologise for the lateness and quality of these photos) any who here is the cardigan that I got for £7. It isn't strictly vintage because it has those bits of ribbon that they put in to keep items of clothing on coat hangers which they obviously didn't put on clothes until the 90's.

Below is a close of of the scalloping on the cuffs of the cardigan and you can just tell slightly that there is a little ribbing on the scalloping as well. If any one can tell me where it originally came from i would be grateful x

Underneath is a picture of the vintage material that I found I intend to make bags out of it at my sewing class that I take on a Tuesday morning. Hope you like it x
