Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I mainly post about my sewing projects, as Iā€™m building a colourful and comfortable everyday wardrobe suitable for a working mum of primary school children. I really love African wax fabric, so that features heavily. I also occassionally post about family life in Edinburgh and travel. Hope you have a nice stay!

African Wax Bob pants

African Wax Bob pants

I made these trousers ages ago and have worn them a dozen times but for some reason whenever I wore them it turned into a gloomy day and I never managed to take a decent picture. There's also something about green and dark colours that is really hard to photograph.

Anyway, I'm calling these photos good enough so here's all the details.

Pattern: Style Arc Bob pants

Fabric: some African Wax I got from a swap ages and ages ago.

Size: 16

Adjustments: 2 inch full seat adjustment like last time. and shortened by three inches.

Instructions: I didn't really use them as this was the third pair I made in short succession, they are a bit questionable anyway

Special features: I'm really pleased with the pattern placement here. The fabric has a border print and I faffed about for ages getting that in the right place on the highly curved pattern pieces
