Not entirely fair trade today as I cannot vouch for the provenance of their fabrics, but my shirt is made by Sizanani, a sewing training project in Pinetown, Durban, South Africa which equips people with the pattern-cutting, designing and sewing skills for sustainable employment. This features appliqué in local traditional designs and is worn with a Traidcraft linen skirt and my wonderful new Terra Plana boots. |

One advantage of doing the internet research to write these blogs has been finding pairs of shoes; so both Sundays have been the first outing for a new pair! It is not easy finding shoes in Size 2, I generally hate shoe-shopping, and rely on the very helpful cobbler in Luton market to keep mine going. So to find pairs at sale prices in my size is remarkable ... and I am enjoying it!
