Child of the 60's

Among the things that M gave me to take to Zambia are some sewing patterns from the 50's & 60's including this one

If only I fitted this size I'd be busy sewing them! I love the style, possibly not just because vintage/retro is chic right now but more likely that it is pure nostalgia - I remember my Mum making this sort of thing for both of us.

As vintage is so sought after at the moment I thought it might be better to see if I can sell them and raise funds for the project than to take them with me & find they aren't going to be used. So while I was making courgette & ginger jam I've taken advantage of e-Bay's free listing weekend and listed them here - it's quite handy because there is the option to donate a % to Mission Direct, and claim Gift Aid on it too. It will be interesting to see if they sell.
