JJ CeleryI have been obsessively scrolling through #MeMadeMay and talking the ear off @spookius about sewing and slow fashion and then suddenly BAM! Alex Norris dissed me so hard 😭

So #MeMadeMay2024 taught me that I wear the same things over and over and I don't have much I've made myself, though almost everything newish is homemade. I'm ok with that, wearing old things is more important to me than wearing homemade things.
Days 22 and 23 were uninteresting -- I'm not putting underwear pics on the internet. Day 24 is the flowery top again and my new heart rate monitor with a little cotton sleeve over the synthetic strap. #MeMadeMay2024
#MeMadeMay2024 Day 21 and it's turned cold so I'm wearing my wool-lined velvet waistcoat. There are many problems with the tailoring of this garment but it's lovely and warm and my wrists and hands never brush against the wool I'm allergic to. To which I'm allergic, thanks Victorian Latin-focused grammar snobs, I always think these sentences twice.

Attached: 1 image I'm planning my next waistcoat. I'm a bit allergic to wool but none of the waistcoat lining will touch my skin so I'm making the exterior from cotton velvet, lining it in wool, and hopefully using paisley silk from a tie for pocket welts. Photographing the colours is really hard because my camera is so clever it can't handle red or green at all, but this is burgundy, dusty blue, and silvery pinky grey background with cerise/pink paisley. #Sewing
Day 16 of #MeMadeMay2024 is my other pyjamas, which it was too warm to wear last week. I made these from the same pattern I had made for the darker set, but from heavier brushed cotton. I love them, especially in winter. The second picture was the day I made them. #Sewing
Day 14 was underwear and pyjamas again, but day 15 is a repeat of the blue top with daisies. Perhaps I should point out that the chair I'm sitting on is the one I sewed a cover for. I did piping. https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/110832175238859960

Attached: 3 images So I'm back at the chair cover. I've unpicked all the pieces I think I need to, to make pattern pieces, and I've started tracing around them. But I've realised I need to learn a lot more about inserting a zip, because this looks very neat and I don't know how to do that. #Sewing https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/110813772022830155
Day 12 was just underwear, and today is Day 13. I modified my recent top. The bit left from cutting the scoop neckline was a useful shape, so... #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMay2024 #ItHasPockets
Day 11 of #MeMadeMay2024 and I have my duvet dungarees from Morgan Donner's design, made last summer. https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/111002528786641480

Attached: 3 images FINISHED. I will probably do nicer seam finishes inside sometime, and it will probably grow appliqué over time, but I'll be wearing these now! #Sewing #dungarees (Yes, I can just about fit in one leg)
Day 10 of #MeMadeMay2024 and I finally realised I can at least *mention* my Test Jeans, a pair of M&S jeans I bought on eBay and use to test things out, like this fancy stitch my Janome machine can do.
Day 9 of #MeMadeMay2024 and it's just pyjamas and underwear again. Fair enough.
