Poncho madness

Yay, the cooler weather is here for us in Australia. The cardigans are out and I have gone poncho crazy.

 In the 1990s, I designed a simple South American style poncho that was reversible and made from vintage fabrics. They sold like hot cakes and I have worn the one I made for myself every winter since. On the look out for a replacement poncho I was ever so happy to find this beauty.


1960s Poncho from Blue Bird Vintage


 Purchased from the Vintage Vixen and Vamp Fair from the lovely Deb of Blue Bird Vintage.

So it is back to the designing table for me as I am to adapt my original poncho design to a shorter style. Oh the possibilities. Hopefully you will see my new designs soon.

 Here is a sweet vintage poncho/cape I have for sale in my shop.

 Details include a button front, pom-poms, collar, cable knit front and a fringe trim. Lovely light cornflower blue colour. Label - made in Mexico. In excellent vintage condition, looks as new. Made of super soft thick acrylic yarn.
