Mrs Hinch is more commonly known for the cleaning revolution she launched across the nation. Thanks to her videos and Instagram posts, soon everyone was ‘hinching’ with a Minky and Zoflora. That was if they could get a hold of them.

Now Mrs Hinch is stepping away from ‘The Pink Stuff’ and fuelling a whole new trend. To be more exact Baby Hinch, who was born earlier this month, is sparking the new trend – sewing baby toys.
Sewing baby toys
In preparation for her little one, Mrs Hinch posted shots of her making a tiny blue bear on Instagram. The cleaning guru documented her first attempted at making something from scratch with a mini sewing machine.
She commented on a photo of the finished baby toy: ‘I know it’s so bad. But it’s my first ever time on a sewing machine and the first thing I’ve ever made from scratch! I will always keep this… you have to start somewhere.’
