Two pairs of afterschool pants in denim for the baby – a job and a half to get them on her but they look great and are easier to pull off.

It sounds wonderful Heidi. I hope you post pictures for us to see it when its is complete.

After what seems like weeks not sewing I am finally able to and am in the process of cutting a apair of denim afterschool pants for Chloë. This will be followed by Jalie jeans for Imogen and Jalie denim trousers (jeans for Noah). All in a bid to have them…[Read more]
