A Story About a Top

This is the story of  lovely lace ( a curtain), a pattern from a time long ago(a time I remember like it was yesterday), a crafty mummy( that's me) & a fair maiden(my teenager).
The fair maiden was in a fit of despair she had nothing to wear, a trip to the shops was the only answer to her plight, "We need to go to Knox" she cried.  "Oh but sweet child" I replied "Never fear your darling mummy knows just what to do".(also the bank of mummy is closed) So to my trusty fabric stash & pattern box I went.
To find this Ace(cool 80's word) 1980's pattern & a lace curtain that I just couldn't part with.
So a very cool Lace Batwing top I created. The drama was averted & the mummy was once again the best mum in the world.
The End.

The tale of A Little High Waist Skirt

Once upon a time a little girl wanted a floral high waist skirt form one of those yukky chain store.
Luckily she had a very clever mum who never threw anything out.
That clever mum was able to hunt through her patterns from when she was a girl (1986 see pattern below) & her fabric stash to find just the right ditsy floral print for the perfect skirt.
So they sat together and created a most magnificent skirt that cost nothing but time & love.
Now that little girls wears that skirt when ever she can.( And when that little girl is being a right pain her mum can sit and smile remembering the time they made a skirt).
