Anchors Away!




Well shiver me timbers, Tupney be showing her legs!
I know, shock horror!
Well needs must, as you can’t show off a playsuit wearing woolly stockings!

***
Made by my Mammy dearest in the summer of last (what little summer we did have), before the hot weather changed to the usual grot. Bloomin’ typical is what I say- just as I get a snazzy suit to prance around the garden in, it dampens and cools!
It hasn’t even been properly worn yet, as I’m terribly fussy about where and when I wear my ‘leisure only’ appropriate clothes- I’m not like these modern misses, who seem to wear the ‘in’ playsuits anywhere and everywhere! 
But anyway, that’s enough of my clothing eccentricities!

 I’m not quite sure why I never got around to doing the ‘show and tell’, well, most probably laziness, but better late than never eh!

***
So said in a salty sea dogs lilt…. ''Ere you arrrre my lover, 'ere be me playsuit!’'
Oh and lots of very silly photos :-D

Doing my best Shirley Pimple….. I mean Templeimpression. ;-)

Ahoy there young jolly jack-tar!


I think I'll try this hat next...


… No, maybe this hat is best….

Yupn this is the one...
The Back...


Made from a 1930's pattern in a rather fetching blue cotton, dotted with red and navy anchors... well, anchors with hearts on!




















Do you like my 30's Anchor brooch too? Twas a pressie from my big sis- couldn't be more perfect for this outfit, eh!

Hehe- I've just noticed the pink curl (I wasn't brave enough to going back to being a pinkie full time!) Blimey! These photos are really a year old!
Sincerely Yours

  3. Excuse me while I go green with envy! On a side note, I was bidding on the same pattern about a year ago, but due to computer issues, couldn't get online to up me bid... You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you? :) If Mammy Tupney's up to it, I'll have one with little ships on xx

  14. Ooh, I just love that playsuit! Perfect print, and a matching brooch of course. They're something I always admire on others but never wear. I'm thinking I need to change that soon and sew up one myself for lounging around!

  16. SO sweet! When you say "playsuit" does that mean that the lower half of the garment is shorts (what we Yanks might call a 'romper')? ~ because it looks like a beautiful pleated skirt...perfect length..! Your mom's a great seamstress!!

    & ps gave you a little shout-out here: http://h5o5pe.blogspot.com/2012/06/go-go-go-i-mean-it.html?zx=77f6ff354482743c
