Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I mainly post about my sewing projects, as I’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!

Hot on the heels of the first Stellan tee, I made another one. Not much to report, it was exactly the same as the first one, but details below. I’m trying to be better at blogging my makes as I go along!

Pattern: French Navy Patterns Stellan tee

Size: L

Fabric: a remnant of cotton jersey I bought in a destash, I think it may have been just 1 metre. It’s a bit heavier than the fabric I used for my first one, so the boxy shape is more emphasised.

No adjustments or problems, so that’s really all there is!
