When Nadra from Ellis & Higgs first shared the prototype of this mini on her Instagram account, I was instantly smitten. Just too too sweet for words! I was one of the lucky few who got to test Nadra's pattern a few weeks back, and I finally got a chance to finish and bind my mini so I can share it with you.
The fabrics are the new Flower Sugar Spring 2015 by Lecien, which will be out in October. That's right, that's a grey colourway folks! I didn't have large enough cuts for the sashing so I cheated and used one of the pink prints from Flower Sugar Fall 2014 (would you have noticed it if I didn't point it out?). I love the continuity of this range and how the patterns and colourways evolve from year to year but all the time retaining a very distinctly identifiable 'flower sugar' quality.
If you would like to get a copy of the pattern, Nadra has just opened her Etsy shop, and until the weekend all her patterns are available at 20% off the usual price to celebrate the launch! Enter the code LAUNCHWEEK into the coupon field when going through checkout.
