My first #MMMay18

This year was the first time I have participated in Me Made May. My handmade wardrobe has really grown in the last year and this was the first time I felt that I could get through the whole month wearing me mades. My pledge was to wear at least 1 handmade garment everyday and attempt…

#MMMay18 Week 4

As I come into the last third of May, my first Me-Made May, I'm getting more and more excited about my handmade wardrobe. It's a great feeling getting dressed in the morning, its a confidence boost knowing that I can make clothes that can be worn everyday!! I've also really enjoyed looking each day on…

GBSB Men’s Cycling Top

Watching the last series of Great British Sewing Bee, my husband spotted the men's cycling top and asked for one straight way. When I got the book and found the pattern included his requests increased. But I admit, I was nervous about this make and put it off for almost 2 years. But as my…

#MMMay18 Week 3

Week 3 of Me-Made May and I'm enjoying working my way through my handmade wardrobe. It's making me pick out those garments that are often overlooked. 14th May: I thought I would start the week off which something I don't 100% love and overlook when I pick out my clothes in the morning. I made…

My Agnes/Freya dress

Tilly and the Buttons – Frankie T-shirt

With an aim to up my basics in my wardrobe this year, I loved the look of the Frankie when I first saw it on Tilly's Instagram story. The supplies: I was instantly drawn to the idea of mixing colours for the bodice and sleeves. I found some lovely speckled grey jersey on Tia Knights…

#miymarch18 Final Week Round-Up

#miymatch18 has been the first photo challenge that I have fully completed. I've enjoyed waiting to see the themes for each day and then think of how I can fit with it. I was ill this week so I had to play a little catch-up. 26. When I first saw the theme I instantly thought…

True Bias – Male Hudson Pants

My husband has been asking me to make him something for quite some time. He would love a road cycling Lycra jersey but I don't feel confident enough for that project yet. We settled on True Bias 'Hudson Pants'. As soon as he saw the pattern it was an instant yes from him. He likes…
