I wanted the best carry all for my making equipment, and they are now available to buy on my shop page.
Thanks to SozoBlog for issuing this Me-Made challenge - i didn't realise how much i'd made until I actually went through my wardrobe :)
Me Made May: Day 31 - The Final Day - My Eco Sewing and Pattern Cutting Themed Tote Bags
Me Made May: Day 30 - Work in Progress No.3

Another commercial pattern was used as inspiration but the shape has been shortened, with no sleeves and merged with my custom block pattern instead. Saves millions of alterations this way!
Should be good for this warm weather (when i'm finished!)
Me Made May: Day 29 - Self-Drafted Shorts
 |
 |
 |
These self-drafted shorts are a must in this hot weather in a grey polycotton.
They were originally taken from a favourite pair from Next, but i wanted to make some changes to the pockets and seams.
The same pattern is also going to be cut in a navy and black cotton very soon.

Yay for another pieces saved from landfill!
Me Made May: Day 27 - Sleeveless Shell Top
 |
 |
 |
Made with another fabric remnant - this one from my BA Fashion collection all those years ago.
Its nice to see the fabric being used for something else that I can use.
Me Made May: Day 26 - Illustrated Scarf
 |
 |
Another pieces made for a photoshoot that i get to use myself
Me Made May: Day 25 - Self-Drafted Vest Top 5.0
 |
 |
 |
Completed with self-made bias binding strip (to hide a seam!) and pleats to use the small fabric lengths wisely.
Me Made May: Day 24 - Self-Drafted Coat 2.0
 |
 |
Took a lot of toiles but its always important to get the fit right.
Measure twice, cut once and all that! ;)
Me Made May: Day 23 - Work in Progress No.2
 |
 |

It should look good when its finished though.
Me Made May: Day 22 - Pattern Cloned Jumper
 |
 |

A copy of one of my fave pieces from FCUK in a light grey with cross-grain panels.
This helps to keep me warm on days that should be warmer for this time of year 😊
Me Made May: Day 21 - Jersey Coatigan
 |
 |
 |
A good layering piece this one, and my stripe matching is amazing! 😁😉
Me Made May: Day 20 - Refashion Project 3.0
 |
 |
 |
I do love the back buttonstand detail on this one though, and its in a nice light cotton fabric - ready for the sun.
Me Made May: Day 19 - Work in Progress No.1
 |
 |
 |
I've used an ivory crepe remnant for the under layer, but had to get a bit creative with the layout as i only had 3/4 of a metre. (*Will share more photos soon!)
This will be lovely for the warmer weather...when it arrives!

This top belonged to a friend who didn't wear it anymore. As they were a size smaller than me, i added some relaxed chiffon fabric panels into the side seams to make it a more comfortable fit.
Another piece that didn't end up in landfill.
Me Made May: Day 17 - Self Drafted Raincoat
 |
 |
Belted at the waist and complete with inverted pleats, its a bit more interesting than the average rain mac ;)
Me Made May: Day 16 - Handsewn Toys
 |
 |
 |
One of the mini mascots that i made during my kids classes at MAC Birmingham, but i do like making these as gifts for friends.
You can make your own using the free instructions on my Learn to Sew page.

This was a fabric remnant from a 2nd year project at university which i've always loved. Its great to use the rest of it up to avoid any waste :)

A spot of colour on the grid today...a rare one for me, but i've had this fabric remnant since university, and didn't want to waste it, so an impromptu decoration was added.
