I wanted some cropped trousers and couldn’t find any I liked in the shops. To be honest, I didn’t really look – I would much rather make my own!! I found some more camo fabric in Abakhan, and got this pattern to match. In hindsight I questioned my pattern choice – as the jeans pattern …

I knew about the Air Cadets annual Dining In when I had my ‘fabric day’ back in May. I didn’t find a suitable silk on my travels, which is what I really want. But I found this fabric that I liked the design on that I thought could be suitable. It was only £3.95 a …

We were going away for Christmas for the first time ever. I wasn’t certain about this! But I did want something nice to wear while being waited on!! I found this sparkly fabric in Abakhan in Altrincham, but there wasn’t very much of it. This was really easy to make, mainly on the overlocker, as …
