Story:
Ilona leaves Edinburgh city and goes to live in a lovely little cottage in rural Scotland. She enjoys living quietly until she joins the local vintage sewing and knitting bee run by Flora. Although Ilona becomes friends with the ladies and is welcomed into their bee, they also get up to mischief making, especially when it comes to men and romance.
The ladies are intrigued to find out that one of their neighbours, handsome dancer Etive, dances half naked in his garden at night. And then there’s the well-built builder Greig to contend with.
While making sparkly vintage dresses for parties and dinner dances, knitting everything from shawls and tea cosies to scarves and skirts, Ilona and the ladies get up to all sorts of mischief and mayhem.
