....And ahead of schedule, here is a ball of fashion rag yarn, the carding of which is shown below! On Sunday I shall attempt to knit it....watch this space....

HEADSCARVES ARE FASHIONABLE.

Give life to a piece of cloth! Headscarves are everywhere. Radio 4 is talking about the Queen and Nora Batty as I write. 

Here is a diagram on how to tie a headscarf from our current favourite book 'Cheep and Chic'.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD HAT.

On Tuesday, whilst conducting our Home Made Sportswear event, we made a friend!

Doreen, pictured on the right, who is 80 next month arrived in full biker leathers, and contributed greatly to our discussion.  We were talking about the importance of wearing good headwear, and she kindly brought her collection of hats into the shop for us to try on. Doreen explained how one can have a lot more fun with a flattering hat. They were so beautifully made, and we especially loved the Stephen Jones's hat Louise is wearing on the right.

Doreen packed her collection away into the hat box and danced her way down the street. Hopefully she will come with us when we enter Stephen Jones's paper hat competition at the V&A at the end of the month.
