having done the last matinee coat, I decided to do another one......
working on from this I then adapted the idea to another cardigan in the same colours....
Once you have one design that you are happy with you can change it around a bit, so that each design is slightly different from the precious one.
.

Now that the weather is improving and all the snow has gone (although we didn't have much here) I am thinking of summer and pretty baby outfits.
I made this matinee coat yesterday from a pattern that I used, way back in the early 70's.
I made literally hundreds of them and sold them (pre decimal) for just 12/6d.... around 65p !!!!!!!
When I was expecting my son I would sit and make them and always took ready made ones to the clinic and sell them.....I always loved selling !
Now, all these years later, this design is as popular as ever.
I change slightly, each one that I make...
