| My collection of purchases |
My husband and I were away from home last weekend, heading off to
Harrogate for a few days. Harrogate is a really interesting place to visit, and we chose to go because not one, but two shows were on. I went to the
Knitting and Stitching Show, whilst my husband headed off to the
Woodworking and machine tools Show. We both had a great time.

| Vintage patterns |
 |
| Stencils, wooden blocks for printing, sheer fabrics and a mat for making lino prints. |
 |
| Goodies found in a rummage box. |
As you can see from the range of my purchases, I am planning to do more printing and dressmaking. The vintage patterns are an indulgence since I just love the style. I have been looking for a nice culottes pattern for some time, so was delighted to find this one.
I think I shall make the skirt too.
 |
| Almost two yards of Linen and Viscose mix fabric. |
Going round the charity shops I found these two lengths of fabric. The linen/viscose mix will make a delightful blouse, whilst the other length will make a lovely summer dress.
 |
| Four and a half yards of light cotton batik. |
The battered book you also see in the pile of purchases was found in a charity shop too,
I also indulged myself with the purchase of a light box. This will be so useful.

Looks like you had a lovely day rummaging through vintage treasures! I love the patterns you found. I must plan such an outing for my next visit to England :)Clare
