I remember wearing a stripey 'tank top' my mum knitted for me in the 70's (er, thanks Mum!) and I think the shape of Simeon's vest top is definitely reminiscent of the 1930's. <BR/><BR/>I tend to hang on to my larger offcuts of mohair because sometimes it's really refreshing to use it again in the future. I have another piece of fabric I'm thinking about at the moment, my sister gave it to me when she stopped bear making a couple of years ago and I remember she originally used it for a beautiful big traditional bear called Edward ... he was one of her early designs about twelve or so years ago ... this fabric hasn't been available for a very long time as far as I'm aware and I'm dying to use it - I have a particular idea in mind ... but I'm not ready to share just yet!All Bear by Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482860870472872700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861117772598547005.post-24037919854619933232008-03-20T10:50:00.000+00:002008-03-20T10:50:00.000+00:00Such a lovely post Paula.

Either 1930's or 70's I can't decide!Gorgeous mohair, must remember to hang onto some of mine!<BR/><BR/>Hugs, Sarah xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931234397117307964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861117772598547005.post-88999607750259851422008-03-20T09:19:00.000+00:002008-03-20T09:19:00.000+00:00I'm so pleased you both like Simeon - thank you!

He has quite a nostalgic flavour!<BR/><BR/>Oh Catherine, no hot cross buns? How awful!
