Additional Information
The inspiration for this design sprang from various old paintings and photographs of people skating, all dressed up in their Sunday best, perhaps on a frozen pond in the middle of a village. I liked the idea of a lady skating alone, rather like the Reverend Robert Walker in Henry Braeburn’s famous portrait, attired in the sort of clothes. we see in the lovely vintage fashion plates from the 1920s and 1930s.
This has made many appearances on Instagram and people sometimes change the colour of the hat, or coat lining. The fur collar is such fun to stitch, as is the stripey coat with its silky lining.
The printed design is 18cm x 16cm (roughly A5) but I always allow a generous margin of fabric for your hoop and framing.
