Hello all! Today we will unofficially celebrate the launch of my very first knitting pattern, The Batty About Bats Beret! I wouldn’t be able to celebrate without also hosting a knit-a-long! The knit-a-long will begin on October 1st! If you are interested in joining the knit-a-long, please keep reading!
The Batty About Bats Beret is based on beret patterns of the 1930s and inspired by Halloween publicity photos, taken of starlets of the time, including Clara Bow! I have chosen to adorn the spooky beret with bats. Why? I may be obsessed with them!
The Batty About Bats Beret is knit in the round with worsted weight yarn and is suitable for advanced beginners and above. However, if you are a beginner and are confident in the swirling mysteries of this beret, then please give it a try!
The Batty About Bats Beret Knit-a-long will be hosted on Discord and Ravelry (please see links below). The knit-a-long will run from October 1st until October 31st (the most spookiest day of the year). The beret is a quick knit and you should be able to finish it in a few days!

Hello and welcome to Killer Kitsch Lizzie! My little world where I sew, knit, and go on vintage reproduction journeys!
Today we are going to build a template! Do you have your tools ready!!!
As I mentioned in the previous video, you will need a few items.
*The .pdfs
*Some kind of tracing paper or large sheets of something. I personally use brown packing paper to draw my patterns on.
*Poster board or as we call it in Canada bristol board. I glue my template to it, to give it more structure. You will also use the poster board to make your pattern block.
*Pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, and markers.
*Paper scissors
*Glue of some sort. Elmer’s glue works, but I personally preferred using a glue stick. It was easier for me.
*I also found an awl as a handy tool for punching the holes.
Now. Let’s put together the template!!!

Hello and welcome to Killer Kitsch Lizzie! My little world where I sew, knit, and go on many fun and sometimes weird creative journeys!
Finally. Finally! The Haslam Journey begins. I’ve been promising this for a long time and now it’s here! I would love it if you came along with me!
So… In this video:
What I will show you in the next videos is:
What is a draft-at-home system?
A draft-at-home system is a dressmakers tool that allows you to create your own sewing patterns, using your own body measurements or for whomever you are creating a garment for. You can also use the pattern to create different sizes as well as tailor the pattern to fit your body type. There are many types of garments you can use this system for such as tops, coats, skirts, dresses, trousers and even lingerie. You can also use this system to draft clothing for men and children. Which most mothers would normally do.
The Haslam System of Dresscutting does exactly the same thing and is achieved by creating a sloper and from that sloper or pattern block, you create pattern pieces. The system was devised by Miss Grace Haslam (in the 1930s I believe) and was an original home business that eventually has Miss Haslam traveling all over the country teaching her method of dressmaking. There is a very sweet article written about her and I will link it below.
OK! In our next video will get started with putting together our template and drafting our partner block.
You will need a few things to get started. I know this might sound a bit overwhelming, but it’s not really more items than if you were tracing out a pattern.
Supplies you will need:
I’m also going to list all of the sellers I know who have .pdf booklets for patterns. There are way more options now than when I first started teaching myself Haslam.
