it was very late in the night before the house settled and i could pay some attention to the pile of good intentions i had for the kids clothes week. in the end i decided to start at the end with something simple to get back in the zone and not tax myself more than necessary. 
i managed to pop together 3 winter collars for the little pitters, two for miss and one for the master. a lovely old woollen blanket, a few vintage cottons, and a few tidbits from the depths of the draws pulled together nicely i think.
for the little pitters i have found this style works well, it sits straight against the back of the neck and around the ears but rolls nicely over the collar bone and cheeks at the front
and just as well we are still burdened with easter chocolate to pay for the required modelling services.
i was considering making my pattern up as a pattern tutorial if there was any interest do let me know.
Hi, I found you via the KCW flickr group, and just had to stop by and say how adorable these collars are!

hello Sash thank you so much for taking the time to say, a little admiration goes a long way after a hard day. i had a quick flick over to your blog and will be back to take in more than a few pages. the picture and story of your boys walking home from school was so heartwarming, your a lucky and talented lady yourself.
DeleteOMG they are fantastic! Love them :) You are so clever. Kx
ReplyDeletelikewise m'lady. would love to see more of your sewing.
Deleteand love that you went with the 'bramble', I'm a little flattered!
This is so cool, even for grownups. I love scarves, but somehow I can't stand them on me:)
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough i had a few people on my instagram feed suggest and ask if i would make up some adult one and yes i will, i have planned to do some patchwork ones using the lovely maze and vale fabric in my stash. i'll post them on the blog too...
DeleteHi, this is amazing. Great idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank so much Carolina, i am an everyday scarf wearer and thought my little one were surely missing out on the lovely sensation of a snugly neck...i'll let you know how we go this winter.
