The first thing to make yourself happy when travelling is the right clothes which make you proud of who you are and pleased about where you are going. Conversation-starting clothes can which express your interests. You can buy clothes with patterns such as: books, old fashioned phones, sewing machines, flowers and, for children, other interests such as dinosaurs 

Just the thing for a writers' conference, or book group. Blaze. Thirty nine pounds on shopify, from Popsy clothes in the UK. Two pockets and tie front.

Dresses with two pockets

Popsy Clothing in the UK makes dresses with two pockets, as you see from their garment photos on models with hands in pockets. Also other clothes, with two pockets (in a range of sizes of clothing) and bags, for women and children. 

On Facebook they welcome suggestions for new styles and patterns.

The American company, Scottevest, started by Scott Jordan and his wife, goes for pockets, many pockets, big pockets, and hidden pockets for security.

The Daisy dress, cap sleeves, above the knee, by SCOTTeVEST, has eight pockets. It costs over 100 US dollars.

1000 pocket points gives you a ten dollar discount coupon.

You could buy book pattern fabric and make your own garment, I thought. Spotlight is selling it at $30 a metre and a metre is only 3 feet, so you need to spend 60 plus postage plus the time in making. Cheaper to buy a garment readymade. If you just want a tote bag and scarf, or dickey or shawl and headband, this could be for you.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. that would m

What to wear for a funeral? A black funeral coat from Marks & Spencers Outfit 291

Angela Lansbury, wearing black for the funeral and funeral tea for Stephen Kennard. Photo by Angela Lansbury. This week I went to a funeral. I wore black.  Everybody else wore all black. The invitation said nothing about the dress code.  I know lots of funerals nowadays people were mixed colours. Some specify wearing jolly colours. My friend at the funeral told me, "Always wer black. Unles it specifies otherwise, the rule is, wear black." I had my usual blue anorak with the hood with me. I left it in the car. In the boot of the car, in case anybody broke into the car hoping to find money in the pockets or because they wanted a coat to wear or sell. The safest thing is to leave a completely empty car. At least everything in the boot so the car looks empty. I could have kept the blue anorak in my black tote bag. As soon as we drove into the chapel driveway, I looked at the other guests and their clothes. I saw all black. Off came my blue anorak. Thank goodness I had a black coa
