This blue sparkle Greenwood mills vintage yarn came on skeins, so I used my vintage eco-wool winder to make balls of useable yarn.

The vintage pattern is from Bettyb label, of which I was commissioned to make this piece. See
http://bettybgals.blogspot.com/ . Bettyb makes easy to wear womenswear made from deadstock fabrics and yarn. Available from Mensah boutique, Portabello Road, London, U.K.

...I rewrote some of the pattern to add the required crochet ruffles on the cross-over straps and the leg hem to create a cute playsuit. The ruffles are inline with other Bettyb garments, which are named 'Daphne'.

...back view with crossing over of straps, a buckle or buttons will be added to the back straps. Please keep an eye out on Bettyb website for finished modelled images . (
