I have written my first pattern!

My Sir Lucas knight hat pattern is finally ready and for sale. It has taken a lot longer than I expected, I thought I could just type up my notes but I wanted to make sure it was just right. I have to admit I have had a little help with it from Emma Lamb. Who very kindly checked the pattern and gave me some very helpful suggestions.



I only emailed her the pattern last Wednesday and I got an email back on Monday to say she had finished it. The photograph below shows how she got on - brilliantly! I also love the fact that the hat is black very Darth Vader-esque. I may have to make a black one for my shop.



Talking of shops here are some photos from my Charity shop - shopping spree last week.
Such a cute hat with sparkles running throught it, just £2 and brand new. 



Buttons on shoes!!! Again brand new and only £3.



Two pairs of curtains and 2 vintage pillow cases - £2.50



A Sterling silver bracelet for only £1.25




Lastly how could I leave this Spiderman suit when it was only £3? Definitely worth it, look how happy he is.



Back to my patterns, I am now working on writing up my Molly hat pattern. Oh, and I have a fab bunting idea that I want to try out too. I'll show you the results of that soon.

VERY cute pattern! I would have never thought that making it black would make it look so Vader-esque. Love it!

Great charity shop finds, those shoes are so cute!

As soon as i posed the wee hat for a pic i saw the darth vader helmet... i can just imagine a whole tribe of wee boys wearing them and flailing their light sabers :)

I've posted the pic too over at my blog and linked to here and your etsy shop... best of luck with sales :)
