The Stylish Dress Book - Yoshiko Tsukiori

I bought this book from amazon WOW, it does not disappoint !
26 Patterns for £11.09 p, if you like the look of White Stuff/Fat face
I think you would like this great book of relaxed contemporary dresses

and tops.You have to trace off the pattern from a large sheet with
all the patterns and sizes on, but once you have navigated this, its

straightforward sewing for the dressmaker with some previous
experience. There is no tricky sewing ie zips or buttonholes
mainly easy shapes, that fit together without to much "bother".

The instructions are clear and straightforward. You may what to double
check the sizing as the patterns have been created in Japan, I just when up
one size i.e. small to medium and that was perfect.

Now I am going to try the same style book for girls, I will let you know how I get on.

Ardingly Antique Fair

An amazing hot day at Ardingly Antique Fair,
 Hundreds of stalls selling everything under the sun !
Well all most!
Tucked under a table I found this suitcase of
retro patterns, and bagged 14 for 10.00 big smiley face.

 Lots of sixties and seventies chairs, desks and lamps !

 A while back I was after one of these retro metal desks, however I gave up
my search and got a great retro wooden one, but I had a little pang when I
saw these beauties !

 Thirties vintage fabric only enough to make a cushion, approx. 20 inches
square and the stall holder want 10.00 ! My very terrible haggling got it
knocked down to 8.00. All in all a great day.
