Is there anything more fun than rummaging through old patterns? Some of the styles from days gone by may seem quaint now, but others wouldn't look out of place in a fashion magazine today.

In this fun episode, Sarah and Zoe share some of their favourite vintage patterns, talk about how to recreate retro looks from TV and film and chat about the joys of 70s recipes (chocolate pasta anyone?).

Our favourite tale features some catnip toys and a pair of curtains, but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out what happened…
