About Skiff

Skiff Vintage Patterns was started up at the beginning of 2009. Born out of a passion for the fashions of the 1940s and 1950s, I combined it with my die-hard love of knitting.

More felt fun

Mo’s bedSo we’ve got everything in place with the lounge now and we’re pretty pleased with the way it’s looking, but something was glaringly ugly and we couldn’t put our finger on it … oh yes, the big ugly black rubber dog’s bed! So we ordered a nice new wicker type basket and Big Mo the black lab seemed pretty happy with that, but I needed to make it more comfortable for her … good excuse for more felt cutting out anyway. I found some old material for the main part of the bed, and used the Loki Cola font for the letter cut-outs.

She seems pretty happy on it, although between you and me I don’t think she can read her own name - not very bright, dogs.
