On the weekend just past, yes the same weekend as the Australian Grand Prix, that National Trust holds it's Annual Vintage Clothing Sale at Como House in Melbourne.
It's not just clothing, it's fabrics; haberdashery; fabrics; linen's; jewellery; hats; and other odds and ends. The money raised goes towards the conservation and display of the Trust's historic Costume Collection.
Mark this weekend in your diary for next year; and if you're clearing out a house of your parent's stuff and don't have somewhere worthy to donate them to, then donate them to the Trust for this sale. The money goes towards a worthy cause. The quality of fabrics is to die for. Here is just a little of what I purchased on this occasion.
Happy sewing everyone.
