Oh! These brings back memories. I have an enormous collection, three quarters inherited, going all the way back to the 30's. I couldn't bare to get rid of any.
Such a lovely video Sheila ! It brought back memories of when babies were dressed sensibly and not just a reflection of Mummy's fashion taste as is so often the case nowadays. In a time of no central heating and transport was pushing a pram instead of driving a car ! Maybe as energy and petrol prices rise, there will be a resurgence of traditional knitted clothes for both adults and little ones.😊
Love the video Sheila. I have a few of the same what you have shown and realise from seeing some, I`ve lost a few too. Lol.. I`ve also got the one from the magazine with Popeye on, that was given to me from a old next door neighbour that has sadly passed away since. Love how you reminisce as you go through them. Thank you for sharing them.
Hiya Sheila luv oh dear showing our ages when we thinking ‘oh yes remember that and that “ lol , the hats and actually lots of things that could be used now our age Sheila will remember them and bring back memories as you say . Hope my internet behaves now got a tex to say doing some work over next few months so may have more problems to come yet 😩. It’s a nice day here but cool could do with a grown up siren suit for the colder days lol take care whatever your up to today Jean 💕💕😘
those suits Jean think i have seen a one like an electric blanket, wires that heat up the suit , don't think i would trust one of those though, i have a small heat pad sits on my knee, use it during the day when i am sitting knitting, put my heating on at night when it's colder saves a lot of money
Such adorable outfits! But…I had two boys, and at the early days of disposable nappies. I’m trying to imagine having one of my little guys in a “siren suit” and having to do a quick diaper change!
Thank you for sharing your patterns Sheila I have a large collection myself some of them are really old they belonged to my gran they look like 20s/30s fashion and I have some the same as yours I do wish they put dates on them I always search for the date but never find one , yes you can tell if they are before the 70s because of the price change lol : all my boys wore matinee jackets and cotton nighties the same as my little girl , and I’v knit them for my grandchildren too girl and boy you can’t beat the old patterns ,😊Amanda xx💖💕
That was how my boys were dressed to Amanda, Matinee jackets, cotton nighties the babygros came in when i had my 3rd boy but still had nighties for the first 6 weeks, a lot of my patterns have been sent to me as Happy Mail old and new..
It does bring back times i have most of them as well i have lots of the black and white patterns that are 2ply and 3ply before the 70s but they are coming back Jeannette
Hi Sheila a trip down memory lane . I has some of the patterns. I used to knit vests for my nephew in 2ply he only weighed 2lbs when born . Lol I liked the pattern you put in the big pile it was sirdar 3240 pattern down the sleeves I thought you might have put it to one side . I have got everyone of Jean Greenhowe toy pattern books beside Alan Dart and all of Beatrice Potter pattern I have loads of toy patterns but I couldn’t bear to part with any of them. . How’s your knitting gone today Peter and I went a walk up the canal in Llangollen north wales today over 10 miles we are absolutely worn out now at least the weather was good 🥵 I have my feet up now with a cuppa and just doing one of the front bands, only one to go thank goodness Happy knitting 🧶 tonight lol Sandra xxxxx
