She used our Ann of Navy crushed wool (limited stock available Melbourne only) and cleverly added a button & buttonhole at the top, giving her the option to wear it open or closed.

A bit of a special one today. We were recently con A bit of a special one today. We were recently contacted by long-time Melbourne customer ​Suzy Cato-Gashler who, due to illness, is no longer able to sew. She was after some guidance on what to do with her much-cherished (and huge!) collection of vintage sewing patterns - a collection that’s been lovingly built up and carefully catalogued over many decades. Together we talked about what she’d most want for her patterns and ultimately, it was that they found a home where they could be used, loved and appreciated. After some discussion, we decided to reach out to Sacred Heart Mission and asked if they’d be interested in collaborating to arrange an online sale which would also allow her to raise money for an excellent cause. They kindly agreed and that online sale is now live.

@sacredheartmission is a Victorian not-for-profit organisation that provides support to people experiencing homelessness, disadvantage and social exclusion. 100% of the proceeds from this remarkable donation will be directed towards their Women’s Services which provide a safe place and crisis accommodation for women experiencing homelessness and domestic violence. 
 
A little more about this incredible collection. Suzy is an Issey Miyake super fan, so there are PLENTY of those, and what a total treat it was to see so many, up close. There are also Vogue Paris Originals as well as Chado, Ralph Rucci and Montana designs. To shop the donated patterns, go to www.shmonlineopshop.org or visit the link in bio. As the @shmonlineopshop only delivers to Australian addresses, patterns can only be purchased within Australia. 

This online sale is a legacy of kindness and creativity so if you love a vintage pattern (or two or ten), Suzy hopes you’ll find something in there to sew and enjoy, supporting a great organisation along the way.
