I just finished crocheting the Lacy tee by @tianconnaughton.bsky.social. This pattern is so much fun and it’s the first crochet garment I’ve ever done!

My friend Cath is moving out of her house and she gifted me this charming vintage sewing book. I love the illustrations throughout.

My latest make is the one hour top by Fancy Tiger Crafts! I used vintage fabric that I thrifted. I got the pattern and tutorial from Creativebug that’s available through the library.

Long before people were glued to their phones they had other distractions like reading and knitting on London Underground in 1955.

Are there other fans of #vintagecookbooks on here? I just found this one from 1985 and it’s in perfect condition! It is mostly vegetarian recipes, which I find very interesting that it’s not mentioned on the cover.
