A mother has sewed 80 pairs of newborn leggings to donate to Eastbourne Midwifery Unit (EMU) this Christmas.

“Over the last few months I’ve been sewing up some tiny newborn leggings to donate this Christmas as a thank you.
“All new mummies who give birth over the next few weeks in EMU are asked kindly to place a donation to go towards the midwifery unit in return of some handmade Little Squidges leggings.”
The Little Squidges founder said EMU midwives were delighted with the leggings and loved the print and patterns.
