Vintage Tuesday: 50′s Fuzzy Wuzzy
June 8, 2010
It is well and truly winter around here. So feral has the weather been that I’ve been tempted to knit. I really would love to knit. That may sound innocent enough but I promised myself last winter that I wouldn’t ever knit again. I just don’t have the patience to keep doing the same stitch over and over again. I end up getting sloppy, making holes and abandoning the project half way through.
Anyway, this week I thought I’d post something a little more stylish than the 70s crochet pants suit. I bought this pattern because I loved the black and white photography and the elegance of the silhouettes. I can only imagine how much corsetry was involved but I think that the 50s was more stylish than any other era. What’s your favourite vintage era?

Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.
