About the
Idle Hands




Please note:

Recent changes (a 70% increase) to the UK postage rates for printed papers sent outside the UK have meant that the price of a pattern for overseas buyers is now about 80% of the cost of the item. I can only apologise for this as I have simply transparently passed the increase on to the buyer. The only mitigation I can offer is to ensure a reduction of excess postage for multiple items shipped together.

Description: Another perfectly styled early sixties pattern - sleeveless with roll neck. The body is plain with eyelet rib used for welt and roll-neck. This style worked well under a jacket (no bulky sleeves) and a pencil skirt, which makes for a period design that is very wearable today. The pattern is in pretty good condition but does have a horizontal crease mark.
