Are you Manchester bound this weekend? Well, if you are not you should be! Come and say hi to the zany Clothkitten Nikki who had battled hard with Sat Nav to make it to Manchester this weekend. At Manchester Central (what a fab location it is too!) there is a great Stitches and Creative Crafts exhibitition - and Nikki is there with our wares from the 3rd to the 5th of September. Click on the link below for more information about the venue - hope to see you there! Give Nikki a squeeze - she will be very happy! Oh, and hello BBC Radio Manchester listeners!

Clothkits teamed up with Vintage at Goodwood for their latest design competition. And oh what exciting entries we had! A tricky choice indeed but a winner has to be chosen! So after much umming and ahhing, and even a bit of ooooing, we plumped for Liberty Wright's Festival design. We loved the clever mix of vintage inpiration and Goodwood spirit which Liberty made into something new and fun. 
Well done Liberty, and HUGE thanks to everyone who sent in designs with such enthusiasm and creativity. Fantastic all round. Liberty's design is now being printed ready to be whizzed up into a gorgeous frock for display at the Vintage at Goodwood event. I shall have to have one! Vintage at Goodwood is the newest and best summer festival of music, fashion, art and design. The brainchild of Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway, it promises to be a spectacular event. Clothkits will be co-ordinating a three day sew and knitathon there! Come make bunting, ponchos, dandy cravattes, groovy music cushions or even Wayne's Y Fronts (well, a Y-Front inspired wallet or clutch for you to, er, clutch!). Why not go grab yourself a tent or tepee and come along. Booking information from the Vintage website.
