Christmas Jumper Blog

Babs has fulfilled her civic duty and produced this wonderfuly carnivalesque Diamond Jubilee tshirt.

We expect a Royal Warrant any day now. Failing that, a police warrant.

It's a riot of colour and texture with no holding back with the hand sewing.

Queen Elizabeth is sporting a jewel and brocade encrusted crown with a ring of pearls.

Woollen yarn hair loops down, framing her monarchical smile.

She's wearing a yellow dress because it's her Jubilee so she'll wear her favourite colour.

She's got her party heels on and her special "60" handbag. While you might not spot the Queen bearing her own flag during her parade, she's reported to be an avid waver as soon as the press go home.

You can get your very own Jubilee tshirt as a souvenir from our shop.

Now that Easter is safely out of the way, we’re very busy with Christmas 2012. It’s so close now!

After selling out every year so far, we’re hoping to be able to make even more jumpers in time for the Christmas season so that more people can squeak and jingle their way through winter.

So how do we do it when the jumpers are handmade? Well, we have to get help.

We try to persuade as many friends and family to help us in any way they can! We’re lucky that they all still seem to enjoy it, though we’re worried the novelty of novelty jumpers may soon wear off!

Fortunately, Babs is very organised. Everything is in place for her sewing blitz. All the bells and squeakers are ready. She’s got all her thread. The pin cushions are full. She’s got a new set of needles.

Christmas 2012, we’re ready for you. Now let’s get cutting out!
