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!

Yet another pair of Mini Hudsons

Yet another pair of Mini Hudsons

Quicky post today, I made another pair of Mini Hudsons for Milo, I've made loads of these before and have also used that fabric loads of times so nothing additional to say other than he's grown into the largest size so this may be the last one! Time flies!

Milo, a ten year old boy is standing in a park wearing, the Mini Hudosns, black sweatpants with white dots, as well as a red and white football training jumper


Pattern: True Bias Mini Hudsons


Size: age 10


Fabric: the Dobby branded Painted Dots fleecebacked sweatshirting


Adjustments: widened the ankle cuffs by 4cms to make up for lack of stretchiness in the fabric.


C'est tout!
