Nature Walk for School

Our School has a uniform,which I fully support and agree with.
There is quite enough everyday 'stuff' going on to be picked on and bullied for without introducing clothes into the equation!

Fab Four in Uniform

Ours is simple enough,a summer dress,a winter tunic,light blue tops,navy rugby's and navy bottoms.


I tend to make things in 'fives',polo tops,shorts,trousers whatever.
It means that everyone has a clean uniform everyday and it hands down well.


The twins rugby's were getting too small(and worn out)and Son&Heir has been juggling two woollen grubbers I made him,so it was time to make some more.


Usually I make this style here with some cotton knit I purchased in bulk several years back.
They are not very thick or warm in winter though.
After trawling Ebay I found a bundle of wool/poly knit 8m+bits. A few bids later it was mine!


I had eyed of the Nature Walk pattern by oliver+s as a potential school jumper,but after seeing the lovely Peta's I knew it was.

With the width of the fabric I was able to cut out 8 rugby's with pieces left to make smaller ones.
I eliminated all the seams and sewed with a smaller seam allowance.

Yes,thats what eight rugby's look like!

I felt like sewing them took weeks......mainly because I had a house full of sick chicks and only quick sewing sessions.
They actually went together really well and quite promptly.

They are very warm and snuggly. The Twins are chuffed!
I am still trying to decide whether I stencil the school letters on(or not).
