Chilli Shirts and Masks

The chilli fabric was a great find on a day out for my birthday in Shrewsbury. I also bought more wool for a chunky cardigan (still in progress at the time of writing), a mini ironing board for sleeves, a french curve, and some great circuit board fabric from Watson & Thornton, another lovely fabric shop in a quaint Tudor building.

After the popularity of the chilli fabric, we have been back for more of it! The second visit was a last day out before second lockdown, and I actually had to queue to get into Abakhan! Everyone stocking up on supplies for lockdown!!

I had 2 lots of the chilli fabric, with the intention being matching shirts for husband and son. My son has grown considerably since the last shirt I made him, and reviewing the kids pattern I usually use for him realised that wouldn’t be big enough for him anymore. I therefore had to use the same pattern as for his dad, but the smallest size. I need to grab him for a photo at some point! But this is hubby wearing his, with matching mask!

I also made some more of the masks. A couple for the owner at one of our favourite Indian restaurants!
