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!

Refashioned top

Refashioned top

A quickie post today as there is not much to say about this! This was originally a handmade vintage dress, which I had already refashioned by shortening the sleeves and turn from a gathered to a shift skirt, the skirt was pretty snug when I originally changed it in 2019, and was now too tight to wear, so I did what I meant to do when I originally messed about with this, which was turn it into a top.

Nothing really to report on how I did it, I just chopped it at waist length and hemmed it.
