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!

A quickie project for the summer - an LB Pullover without the sleeves to match the Pietra shorts I made a while ago. I felt really fancy in my matching set even though the fabric was completely crumpled. I’ve bought a spendy linen Gingham from Merchant and Mills to make another set - let's hope I can get that done before summer is over!

Pattern: lb pullover without the sleeves or neckband. Just the front and back pieces

Fabric: striped linen from pound fabric. It was super cheap but really good quality!

Size: 16

Adjustments: apart from leaving off almost everything, none. I finished the neckline with bias binding because that's my favourite finish
