That was certainly post fifties! Then again, the first graduating classes of the school were in the fifties, so it could have been a tradition. I think she called it something else, too.Gaidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137796009019992269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-56024876815724709412009-10-29T20:46:39.346-04:002009-10-29T20:46:39.346-04:00How funny you should cover this today, Gertie!

I was just browsing etsy and ebay for some sweater clips - now I worry I'll be outbid with all the extra attention they'll be getting, alas. <br /><br />That vogue skirt is gorgeous... I know patterns are half price near me at the moment, may have to go pick up a copy!<br /><br />@Serinity Love Sincere Peace Earth - There are actually clips that tighten up shirts at the back - my mother has a few. I think you can tell them apart from sweater guards because their chains are much shorter.Miss Emmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251628463640473391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-73775754379195597032009-10-29T20:45:17.863-04:002009-10-29T20:45:17.863-04:00Are you kidding me?

As I understand it, it was used to make a cloth napkin into a big. Other than the longer chain, it looks very much like the sweater guards. <br />I just love that skirt!!Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152942097072530468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-81856253426996720062009-10-29T16:39:04.265-04:002009-10-29T16:39:04.265-04:00I've never seen or heard of a sweater guard be...I've never seen or heard of a sweater guard before.

And to think I'd never heard of sweater guards until yesterday. <br /><br />I've been trying to wear more vintage brooches with my outfits this year, but actually I'm finding them quite difficult... too heavy, the pins keep coming undone and they fall off. Maybe sweater guards are the answer to the added pretty I have been seeking. I can feel another ebay spree coming up!<br /><br />And I know I marvelled at your skirt yesterday already, but can I marvel all over again - it is stunning enough to bear repetition!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570545194570856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-54550437920967328762009-10-29T12:20:57.854-04:002009-10-29T12:20:57.854-04:00ahh haaaaa dumb hipster craft alert!really funny. ...ahh haaaaa dumb hipster craft alert!really funny. that "haiku" instruction is also hilarious. the rest of em are really cute,though, and i bet i could use a sweater guard in my jewlery box.thanks for the idea! ill shop around for some today!meena meenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221709213625568896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-80962021493505249002009-10-29T11:50:28.441-04:002009-10-29T11:50:28.441-04:00I have loved sweater guards for ages, but your col...I have loved sweater guards for ages, but your collection is lovely! Most people who come into where I work have no idea what they are either, so it can be fun to educate them.
