The blouse is a reproduction "Simplicity" pattern from 1947 :-) I love it Magenta! May I order one in royal blue? I remember from my sewing days Simplicity, but I also remember "McCall's", and I think, if I remember correctly, "Butterworth's". Are those two also still on the market??? ...

Once again, thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words :-) I have made my first silk scarf, which I think may be a potential market for me. Firstly dyed in the "mokume" style (Japanese for woodgrain) with yellow dye. Rinsed and dried, and then clamped between two "flower-shaped" pieces of pine ("itajame" style) and dyed with a combination of magenta, turquoise, and a whisper of black. The dye bath and wet cloth looked awful...I thought I'd stuffed it up. However, when I dried it I could see that it was actually quite nice. Special thanks to Monday for cutting out shapes for me with his dewalt jigsaw :-) je suis qui je suis |

Magenta's craft and designs are even better as the weather is flawless - wall-to-wall sunshine, no clouds, no wind and cool. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
