Boiled wool And Taffeta

A carpet of leaves have started to fall everywhere.I love the colours,shapes and patterns that they make.

This week I went to my local library and spotted sitting on the shelf the new Vivienne Westwood auto biography, It was the first time it had been displayed for loaning and I was the first person to take it out. It felt very special with only the one return date stamped on the front sleeve.

Ive only read a little so far but it's good and very detailed were the story begins in Paris fashion week.

I then went fabric shopping which is never a chore and found some grey boiled wool, damson taffeta, and a few other nice pieces of winter fabrics.

So I got busy with Evangeline and together we made a few hats and neck wraps.

A few have sold straight away, I think fabric speaks to you as you spot it and it's what constantly draws people into the shop, fabric, shape, and tone.

I'm looking forward to using more this week and seeing which shapes we will create.

Also need to create a Halloween window or my daughter will not be too pleased.

Keep Me Warm winter Hat

 

 

It's great to have a warm pull on hat  that will slip into your bag. Here's a pink and black wool cap and a red boiled wool cap both look great on and suit most face shapes.On the pink there is a lovely vintage buckle and a ripple trim in red with three buttons.
Both have silky linings and will not itch your head just keep you warm. Both cost 45GBP get in touch if it's your cup of tea and I will make you one....or two.!
