Thank you so much for bring back clothkits. I have already made the dresses I sent for and the fabric was lovely to work with especially the linen mix.
I just wanted to ask why a kitty peekaboo dress was not printed on the fabric as there was loads of space for it. And I have just read that you are printing them on the dungarees pattern!!. My daughter would have loved a matching purple dress for her doll. especially as you have Kitty being dressed in Peekaboo dresses on your Fun Stuff!! (including the purple one!!)
Also have you considered printing any of the other added extras that I remember from my childhood such as matching head scarves and bags.I have made a head scarf for my daughter with some of the extra fabric as there where two extra printed bees I could applique on. I am still considering a dolls dress but it will have to be plain unless I decide to be all arty and do some printing/ embriodery of my own! As I am a Textile design teacher, I could but it would be great if you could do it instead otherwise I can see my daughter wanting me to do it for all her outfits.
I would also like to endorse others about bringing back vintage patterns(maybe updated a bit). My mother has keep all the instructions of all the Clothkits she bought and looking at them there were some lovely classic designs such as a wrap around skirt/ pinafore for womens and a tiered pinafore with printed animals for girls (I know that came in pink and blue versions I had both!!)

I am going to stop now as I don’t want to start reminising but I would like to here other thoughts.

I really agree with Sarah about the 'extras' - they're one of the things that made Clothkits special! I loved the way Cloth Kitty gradually built up her wardrobe from the clothes printed at the edges of the adult clothes and I ended up with a collection to remind me of favourite dresses, long after they'd been handed down. They're a good place to start learning to sew as well.


To be honest, I wouldn't spend £12 just on an outfit for Cloth Kitty (not that I think it's overpriced - I can see it would cost a certain amount to produce any kit - just that I wouldn't spend that much). However, it was the extra outfit that finally swung my decision to get the dungarees. You definitely feel like you've got better value for money when there is something extra in there.


I'm making a peekaboo dress from the trimmings too!
