#MMMay18 item #27: This is last my Me Made May post AND my last Me Made item of clothing. A polka dotty Barbara dress which needed some quick alterations to be wearable today. I love the fabric, but this dress still has some issues yet to be resolved to b

#MMMay18 items #23, #24 & #25: My Ikea curtains @tillybuttons #cleopinafore, stripey Pineapple top & @helens__closet #averyleggings. I need to put some darts in the back waist of the pinafore because the way it fits now makes me hate it and I shouldn't be

#MMMay18 item #22: Yippee! My favourite @grainlinestudio #lindensweatshirt is finally out of the repair pile and back in wearable rotation! It took me a long time finally get the neck binding done without (too many) puckers and rippling. Three tries, to b

#MMMay18 item #20: This the @sewaholic #hollyburnskirt I made almost three years ago at a class @spoolofthread. And I've never worn it outside the house. Until today! This was one of my needs-to-be altered items. Turns out it didn't; but, I'm still counti

#MMMay18 item #19: Repeat alert! It's my viscose twill #winslowculottes again! So, there are six more days left in Me Made May and it's time to check in on my progress with my pledge. 1. Wear three items of me-made clothing each week: Check! We are in the

#MMMay18 item #18: My @wardrobebyme01 #astadress. I picked the wrong size and my fix for a too long bodice makes this dress feel really girlish to me and therefore I don't wear it nearly as often as I'd like to because I heart the fabric a lot. #sewing #i

#MMMay18 item #17: My first repeat of the month, my newest pair of #winslowculottes. I really have to get on the repairs/alterations I pledged to finish this month. There's only a week left! #sewing #imakemyclothes #isewmyownclothes #ilovesewing #isew #h

#MMMay18 items #15 & #16: Today, I'm wearing my @grainlinestudio #farrowdress and second pair @helens__closet #averyleggings (which don't stay up because I cut the elastic too long and I really don't want to unpick the whole waistband to fix them) to take

#MMMay18 items #12 & #13: First, my @aprilarhodes #stapledress in some random quilting cotton bought at Fabricland. I didn't notice the flaw in it until I'd cut out the pieces and was sewing it together. Luckily it's lost in the print, even though it's ri

#MMMay18 item #10! This is the @sewliberated #schoolhousetunic I made at a @spoolofthread class with my friend @lisapaloozza coming up three years ago (!!!). I thought it was a little old-fashioned so I used this brown calico cotton, which made me think o

#MMMay18 item #8: A modified @sewaholic #saltspringdress made in a super summery rayon crepe from Denver Fabrics. French seamed, zipper omitted, outer layer shortened to reduce the blousing, and converted the straps to adjustable with strap findings stole

#MMMay18 item #7: My third and final Barbara dress. The shirring is too high which cuts off my boobs and from far away, the fabric reads as weirdly blotchy. But, it's got great drape and pockets, so I'll keep wearing it. #sewing #imakemyownclothes #memade

#MMMay18 item #4: My @sewaholic #saltspringdress being worn to a wedding on a neighbouring Gulf island. I'm still so proud of how I managed to french seam the entire thing... including the inseam pockets! This is also why I mostly only take mirror selfies

#MMMay18 item #2: My first (and, so far, only) pair of #winslowculottes from @helens__closet. Paired with a calendar-appropriate Princess Leia shirt. Now I'm off to a tiny island for a weekend wedding! #sewing #imakemyownclothes #memadewardrobe #memademay

#MMMay18 item #1: My very first @grainlinestudio #lindensweatshirt made in a frustrating-to-sew-with sweater knit I got as part of a grab bag from @girlcharlee. It's technically a wearable muslin, which gets a LOT of wear. #sewing #imakemyownclothes #mema
