DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!

The infamous Granny Mattie's knitting, this is a cardi/jacket with a scarf and hat to match, I'd say it's age 4-5, as Finn is 3.5 and it's still a long while till it would fit... It's Arron and will wash really well....

Here are 3 wooden embroidery hoops looking for a new home as I have doublers, I bought them in a clear out on eBay and have never used them....

This little bundle of fat quarter's will make a lovely wee summer project I'm sure....

I'm having a clear out of all my patterns also, this is a lovely vintage 2-piece size 50...

This dress pattern size 20, has such a lovely bust line, in the right fabric this would be a show stopper....

This dress pattern size 14, is right in time for summer and comes as in a maxi dress size too...

This girls dress size 8 is super cute I love the pleats.... Too cute!!!!!

Need help with the vintage sizing???

I personally love way more than I've entered for but hey share the the vintage loveliness I say!! Here's a wee teaser of whats on offer..... just to wet your appetite

I think this one is lovely, such a good cut and with the right fabric, would be a defo knock out!!

Fancy making something for the man of the house?!?!?
This jacket has never and will never lose it's place in the wardrobe as it's a wear with anything number!

This is such a cute and simple dress, needs that little bit of length but thats no problem at all, if I had a wee girl I'd be on this one!!

And one for the wee man in your life huh this is super cute, I can see it in robot or train fabric!!

And this well this is every 50's followers dream I say, I adore this dress... it could be in polka-dot or floral nearly any cotton would do this justice and to be out and about in a vintage pattern... It makes my wee heart flutter!!
