Squeak! These little pyjamas make me so happy for many reasons! They are 100% upcycled – mostly from a duvet cover my mam made, from fabric my nana bought (so its probably at least 15 years old).

Sleeveless Blouse from Linen, Wool, Cotton Kids Book
I enjoyed making this top so much I wouldn’t have minded if the small one hadn’t liked it. Although she likes it very very much. Her criteria for liking clothes are simple: comfort and nice fabric. If I sew clothes in fabric she loves I’m pretty much onto a winner. The fabric is a Merchant…… Continue reading Sleeveless Blouse from Linen, Wool, Cotton Kids Book

This is a free tutorial and one-size pattern, and because of its elasticated neckline and loose shape…… Continue reading A Cheeky Muu Muu dress
