The human condition has a wonderful inevitability to it… Feel hot and crave the cold… enjoy summer but crave winter woolies… tire of woolies and crave floating maxi-dresses…
And so it is that I come in from a languishingly gorgeous day in the heat of the barbeque-fuzz, thinking up autumn’s sewing projects and the range of ideas for those gorgeous yards of crepes, tweeds and boucles stashed in my basement…
Vogue 1367 – not the most straightforward pattern method to create this kind of look, but a very elegant result, nonethless. If you’re a newbie stitcher, Simplicity 2147 would create a similar effect with much less head-scratching…
Vogue 8937 shouts ‘Toast’ elegance at me… and would be a great wardrobe staple, particularly if you like snoods and don’t want a pesky collar interfering…
Vogue 8921 might just convince me to foray into knits…
Butterick 5916: Not convinced by the peplum on this one, but the gathered shoulder detail is just stunning…
And for the significant others in your life (not that my crew will get a look-in, mind, but may as well appear to be fair on the internet, at least…)
Vogue 8940 is a rare glimpse of beautiful menswear from Vogue…
And for children there are, as ever, a few gems in the books…
