They were vintage ones but I was one short so I started looking for more on ebay on the off chance someone was getting rid of a packet but I found new ones by Prym at Tesco can you believe! If you needed to use poppas in the future on a vintage make they would look in keeping with adult blouse wear. I love that colour. I have pink chambray to use over the next few weeks.

It seems you are my sewing inspiration at the moment (thank you!) as this week I modified an existing pattern to make one of the vintage suntops you featured last post - the cutie with ties on the shoulders - & I'm super happy with the results. Now I want to make THIS one! Hmmmmm, it's supposed to be Autumn here. I SHOULD be looking at Winter gear...... :)Aussiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039647011765076283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-13746017399638535362016-04-14T17:50:35.133+01:002016-04-14T17:50:35.133+01:00It's very clever and so simple!
