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!

Still catching up on the 2022 makes! I wanted to give this its own post because I have four photos, and it’s a good scrapbusting pattern to know about! I made this in the summer, before we went to my parents in August - where that sunflower pic was taken.

Pattern: Elbe Textiles Sorrento Bucket hat

Size: M, should have gone for S, its just ever so slightly too big

Fabric: The yellow is some ramie from Fabworks, left over from the Georgia Tee, and the blue is linen from Minerva, left over from my millionth pair of Bob pants. You need 35cms of both.

It’s reversible!
