I, too, have so many memories linked with Clothkits. It quite brought a lump to my throat to think they might be coming back. I was a teenager in the 70's and my mother was a Clothkits fanatic - I learned to sew by making up umpteen outfits throughout my teens and kept some of the best of the dresses until very recently. I still have a velvet jacket which was one of the most complex patterns I made up and of which I was very proud.

My mother made loads of clothes for my children and we went into mourning when they finally closed down!

I tried to teach my daughter to sew from paper patterns recently and it brought lots of loving memories of my mother teaching me to sew but it wasn't the same - I really hope you expand your range soon.

How very pleased I am to see clothkits back, I did not see any of the publicity when it was launched, but for some reason yesterday, just googled clothkits……and amazingly here you are!

My kids were all clothkitted out - and me - and my husband ! I'm not sure where I found the time……The best things for my two very naughty boys were the bright striped jumpers and T shirts - we never lost them for long - they used to run away regularly at county shows or in supermarkets, and the clothes were wonderful identifiers.

I do hope that you get lots of customers - there are a lot of us out there still…I thought I had nothing left that I still wear (I do have a little stash carefully folded in the attic) but I suddenly remembered two pairs of flowery shorts that I have been wearing in the summer for the last - can it really be - 18 years. They are known as Mum's old holiday shorts, as in all the photos - there I am in the same colourful, comfortable shorts. I shall definitely be ordering a skirt, and hopefully more as you add to the range.
