I've had fun this weekend making some new clothes for both of the children for autumn. Here are some things I made for Keira. There's a new skirt made from a vintage cotton/wool blend fabric, some tweed trousers/shorts (kind of like long shorts to wear with tights underneath maybe when it gets colder)- and a new scarf. The scarf is the biggest cheat ever- it's a beautiful lacy knit in grey angora wool- but I didn't knit it by hand. It was a large shawl collar on one of my cardigans that I was ready to repurpose, so I carefully unpicked the lace part, washed and blocked it, and voila.
She seems pretty pleased with the new school clothes, so my weekend work is done. Hope you had a happy one too.
