I think it was on the parkrun UK page, I'm looking at the rain through the holiday cottage window, so I'll have a hunt

Thank you for looking HellsBells. I have found patterns for memory bears on Pinterest. You are supposed to make them out of old babygrows etc. I think it'd work for hi viz vests though.

Help please! I'm making this hat: ravelry.com in the 12-18 months size (Squeak has a little head). I have 102 stitches. It says to decrease by 8 stitches, evenly spaced, and end up with 88 stitches. That clearly is impossible! So, do I decrease by 8 to 94 or decrease by 14 to get to the 88? Gah! |

I've been having a clear out recently and have three sewing patterns which I'd love to post to anyone interested. Simplicity 1557 - a costume for Merida from Brave. Ages 7-14, unused. Vogue 7707 - six variations of footwear for infants up to 9 months. I made one of these but the rest are unused. (Search Vogue 7707 baby for pictures of this.) New Look 6202 - a girl's dress with a simple bodice and flared skirt for ages 3-8. Unused. Fmail me if you'd like any of these. I hate throwing things away! |

I took some patterns to the charity shop. They were one thing I struggled to get rid of, but I figured I'd be very unlikely to make them again. Some I made as a teenager. I even found the batwing jacket I made and wore to a wedding. It was huge!

Charity shop is on the list if no-one here wants them. I loved a batwing top which I made when I was a teenager! And there was a McCalls shirt pattern I used many, many times as a student, not to mention the "exact jeans fit of Calvin Klein" jeans pattern which I used to make (black) jeans in the days when such things weren't available to anyone over a size 14. |
