Choose your favourite! Mine is the darling Brownie one because I was there before they went all Australian. I was the Sixer of the Elves. IYKYK. We're talking mid-Sixties and earlier.

You really need this stool in your life. Or your Dad does. It's a bit of stencil art by my friend, Robert Moore. It is 46cm high, which is normal chair height.

You should have started to get Fathers Day sorted by now. How about this seriously vintage barkcloth Not Hawaiian Shirt? Looking at the musicians featured, you'd guess that the fabric dates from the Forties or Fifties. It has appropriate fade patches, but it's gorgeous, with many years left in it. I can make other sizes, but this one measures 58cm across from pit to pit.

Three different stitchers' work all turned into cushion covers. The first is a pair of fine petitpoint embroideries set on some vintage silk that was in my Mum's stash. The second is a self-designed tapestry by a very clever artist (whom I used to babysit!!!) and the third is an elegant Kaffe Fassett design, which I've sewn using some very vintage Irish linen - check out the lustre! There's nothing quite like Irish linen.

I haven't quite finished enjoying having my grandmother's dress back in the shop. I'll find a new appropriate home for it any minute. Today is 83 years since she made the speech depicted on the dress designed and made by Robert Moore and me, and which was a finalist in the JADA Prize in Grafton.

In Repair Shop mode, a customer brought in this very elegant armchair for me to fix a small tear in the back panel. I suggested using a piece of point de venise lace, handstitched over the damage, and a similar treatment for one of its cushions.
Good result, I reckon.
