Some recent #sewing projects for #MeMadeMay #Mayke starting with the Tiany pattern from Fibre Mood #sewist
Back to the charity shop single duvets. This one had one side of pineapples on a white background, the other side was 1980s pink white and black bands with stripes of pineapples, ferns & flamingos. The pattern is Kalle shirt from Closet Core. #MeMadeMay #sewing #sewist #Mayke
Agas Ramirez 🎙️custom split side skirt by me, worn at the les miserables manila concert. 🪡
the body is made from a cambodian indigo-dyed scarf and unbranded pashmina, the waist tie is polo club cashmere. these were all items unsold from my old online shop. I ran out of time so this is a modified split side with no pockets.
the top is a 70-30 rayon polyester urban & co dress I've had for 10 years. the leather bag is thrifted from japan surplus. shoes from otto.
Malka Beth@the It's cheap, synthetic, fast drying, durable & pretty easy to include in mass production systems. It's also a static electricity collection machine, especially when not mixed with at least 50% cotton or linen..
It mostly came in with rayon, which is about as durable as onionskin tissue paper& spandex, as an additive to natural fibers to reduce the need to iron clothes, at a time when most people dressed far more formally than they do now.
Now it's gotten rather ridiculous, because everyone who can afford mostly natural fiber formal clothing, can afford to pay someone to iron their clothes for them, so it's expansion & continued market spot is an example of #Enshittification of #Clothing & why #FuckCapitalism makes so much sense.
As someone with delicate skin who enjoys clothing making, I find it's a fiber I work to avoid using, preferring cotton, linen, silk & leather. Socks being the only thing that a little synthetic makes sense in, that being spandex.
Charly Dork (she/they)I’ve been feeling better this week and managed to sow something from my long list of things I want, this was to test the pattern I made and process and I’m going to make myself a black and red one. I think I’ll add this one into my charity raffle. #handmade #sewist #IMadeThis
FaintdreamsConsidering buying some cotton flannel fabric to make some long pyjama bottoms - but one of the sewing patterns I have explicitly states that it should not be made with "cotton flannel fabrics" which apparently ,"burn readily".
I was not aware that cotton flannel was especially flammable ! 👀
Made these cute trousers inspired by a Pinterest pin. They were a bed sheet! I’ve been making more clothes, more fun stuff as I get older I’ve gotten more colourful and whimsical.
KrisLook at it.
Look at the thing i made. With my own two hands (and a sewing machine). With deadstock fabric from Paris. It's broderie anglaise.
Look at the fit. I self drafted that mofo, that's why. It sits perfectly under the arm, just so you know.
It has a shadow sleeve.
It swooshes.
It's perfect.
I'm never as uncertain as when I'm in the trenches of a sewing project ... and never as confident and euphoric as when it turns out good 😅
