Clothkits


I wonder who remembers Clothkits ? I used to buy readymade clothing and kits to be sewn for my children in the 70's and early 80's. Sometime later the company closed down and my daughter and I have recently chatted about how it would be if it was still around now for her children. Well imagine my delight when I came across it in a magazine, Sew Hip So I dug out some old photo's to post with this. One of a my youngest daughter wearing a lovely little lilac dress is a bit small, and I only have photo's with 3 of our 4 children wearing Clothkit clothes, but I am sure Ben wouldn't mind! So now I can buy kits to make for the Grandchildren.

Clothkits sound like a fabulous idea! I was not familiar with them back in the 70's...but what a great concept for frustrated designers. I checked out their new kit clothing...cute stuff!
