The design team were given the specification of back to school. My boy goes to High School in September, he has missed out on so much of his last year at Primary School due to COVID-19 but he makes me so proud, the way he has taken all the upheaval in his stride. We collected his new school uniform today and he finally talked to me about his fears for September. I instantly knew what I could create and I have made this with him in mind for his first day.

There is a video on my YouTube Channel Mrs H's Crafty Corner
