Me Made May: Day 31 - The Final Day - My Eco Sewing and Pattern Cutting Themed Tote Bags

My eco tote bags were created in collaborations with Bag it Don't Bin It using fair trade and sustainable processes and resources. 

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 30 - Work in Progress No.3

A triple layered top in black polycotton and polychiffon fabric. 

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

Its been hot today hasn't it?!

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. 

Me Made May: Day 28 - Refashion Project 4.0

This jersey knit jumper i've had forever but the original had a high-low front hem that looked weird on me, so a pleated blue fabric panel was added at the bottom to make it more wearable. 

Yay for another pieces saved from landfill!

Me Made May: Day 27 - Sleeveless Shell Top

The top is from the shell top pattern from the Great British Sewing Bee. 

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

A good accessory to keep warm on these cold May days. 

Another pieces made for a photoshoot that i get to use myself

Me Made May: Day 25 - Self-Drafted Vest Top 5.0

Yet another variation on a theme in printed cotton fabric from Un Peu de Ci, Un Peu de Ca in Granville in France. 

Completed with self-made bias binding strip (to hide a seam!) and pleats to use the small fabric lengths wisely.
