I knew straight away that I wanted to combine the print into one project. The mixing of prints is something I’ve noticed a lot recently and I anticipate this will grow come the summer months.

The new book from Adaku ‘Sewing with African Wax Prints’ is a project book full with colour and inspiration. The Toni Box Bag my the second project from the book and my first time creating a bag. The Toni bag is a large tote bag with a magnetic clasp. It’s lined with fusible fleece to give the bag structure and the lining can be made in contrasting fabric or like me the same fabric as the outer.

As a circle skirt lover, one thing I have come to realise is really important is waiting for the hem to drop. As circle skirts are made on the bias [*note that this skirt was cut on the cross-wise grain*], the fabric is likely to drop in different areas of the skirt. As such, you should wait before hemming your skirt.

Some things to consider if you would like to make a pair of overalls/dungarees in African wax print. Firstly, Ankara fabric comes in a narrow width of around 45”/115cm. The bib and trouser leg for the Yanta overalls is one piece, and originally I wanted the design to run vertically, but I couldn’t fit the pattern piece on that way so the design is running horizontally instead, which I am totally fine with.
