A double offering for #MeMadeMay - two makes from the past year! The Moss Jacket is made with Ikea fabric. It was the first time making this pattern, it's okay, but I need to adjust the shoulders and arms if I make it again. I am not in love with the bell sleeves but I really like the collar. The second jacket is made with #SecondHand denim and bias binding I made myself. It's from a discontinued pattern from Helen's Closet that I have modified with shortened sleeves. I have made a calf-length version of this pattern in teal corduroy (which I love!). On this one, I did enclosed seams on the yoke! They look so clean! Bias binding along the cuffs/bottom. I really like this! I have another jacket project in the pipeline but I would make this again in a lighter fabric as an alternative to a cardigan. I like a lot of space around my shoulders and this makes me happy. I also like shorter (bracelet) sleeves. I also love the collar although it was difficult to get right.

Hopping back into #MeMadeMay with a #YorkPinafore This is one of my favourite patterns. I have made three Yorks true to pattern and two with modifications. This one is in #SecondHand green denim with Frenched seams and finished with cotton bias binding on the arms and neck. York pinafores are very forgiving of body changes over time and they have fantastic pockets. They work for every season and need less washing due to wearing them as an outer layer that doesn't touch your armpits. I love them! Pup only cares about their coziness when snuggled behind me for work! They pass that test too!

Went to an embroidery workshop at a houseplant festival surprised myself at how my thead noodling came out does it qualify for #bloomscrolling ? #embroidery #imadethis #needlework

Another cosy make for #MeMadeMay

This is a self-drafted skirt made in a cotton jersey. Fold down waist and double layers so it's cosy and warm. Worn with a second hand sweater and store bought t-shirt. I absolutely adore this sweater and I have a pattern for 'The Weekender' which I think would be almost identical. However, my knitting hasn't progressed that far yet - to be able to read and understand the pattern instructions as well as follow them still seems an ambitious goal. One day!

Pup waiting for her snuggle buddy to sit down! She prioritizes snuggling over pictures!

#MeMadeMay meets #MonDog
Post work selfie with the pup in a York Pinafore. The York was one of my first patterns and introduced me to French seams and bias binding (two great loves). This was the second version in a heavy knit cotton blanket from the as-is section of IKEA. So cosy! The scarf was a more recent make in cotton yarn that the pup provided moral support for. Soft and warm outfit - perfect for pup to sleep against as I work!

Studio Tunic in linen for #MeMadeMay

I have a soft spot for all pinafores. Easy to layer which works for all seasons. This is made with a second hand linen and finished with cotton bias binding. I love how roomy this make is. Perfect for being comfortable at work. I have a #NoHardPants at work policy! My favourite part of this is that the neck hole, arm holes, and hem are all finished with bias binding that I made myself. It's beautiful! I love #SecretPretty !

As an aside, pup sits behind me all day at work, just like this! 😍
