Fabulous makes!! The top pattern is a perfect match with your hair, and the pocket bags are delightful. Enjoy wearing your #MeMade outfit.

Outfit photos. This day, and only this day, when I am too busy with laundry and work, we have nice weather: 10 degrees C, and mostly sunny.
So when I had to walk to work to get some papers so that I could work from home while the laundry was done, I dressed in a spring outfit. Everything you see except the shoes and tights, is made by me. The shoes are a charity shop find.

Day 4: add an extra hemline to a shortened rayon batik skirt. Another woman from my sewing group gave me multiple rayon garments that were too big for her. They blend nicely with my #MeMade wardrobe but minor adjustments are needed. One more task is complete.

I'm ecstatic to have a great #MeMade wardrobe! It's so fun to see what can be created with each new and often repurposed piece of fabric.

Sewed my #QuiltCoat lining first to check fit

I’m happy with the length. A little surprised at the amount the lapels will open, glad I didn’t add any design elements at the top. It’s a bit bunchy around the armpits, but it’s basically a giant T so I didn’t really expect ideal fit there anyway

Excited to quilt the quilt part now - going to use Thermore batting so it’ll 🤞🏻 drape really nicely

Happy New Year! I slept through the festivities and the fireworks as I always do. This morning I decided that the new year means using my hoarded stickers.
Thus my 2026 handmade day planners will make me feel happy all year.
Use your nice things 2026!

I've learned from anywhere and everywhere that I could, over the last few years. I learned basics in Home Ec classes, way back in my school years, and I sewed for my adult kids when they were little. As I've retired, sewing has become a passion, and my wardrobe has gradually become #MeMade. I had the best luck once I had thrifted fabrics, instruction, and simple patterns. I use YouTube when I absolutely have to, but video instruction isn't my favourite. Most quilting and fabric shops have some classes. Start with fun and easy projects like bags and pillow coverings, until you develop confidence with the machine and other tools.

My current goals for 2026 involve maintenance, since I've developed a number of practices that are really serving their purpose. So, I plan to:
-Keep #sewing my #MeMade wardrobe, utilizing modifications and techniques that are working well for me.
-Continue with #LanguageLearning in #한국어 #Korean, using a variety of learning materials and opportunities. I hope to have a 3-sentence dialogue with Korean speakers within the next couple of months.
-Keep using my #AppleWatch stand reminders to do various household tasks, including dishwashing.
-Continue monitoring my eating, BP, and exercise, with an intention of continuing to lose weight without hunger or deprivation.
-Keep planning #travel with a multi-week #camping #roadtrip, within Canada. Continue to plan towards a return #korea trip in 2027.
-Join social and volunteer activities with like-minded people at least weekly.
-Keep reading at least 2 books/month.
-Continue watching and sharing #kdrama, with a goal of understanding.

Picking a lining fabric is a little bit like matchmaking! 💞⁠

You want to pick a lining that goes with your main fabric- for example, a silky rayon bemberg is a perfect match for this medium-weight wool coating. For a cotton eyelet, a smooth and lightweight cotton fabric would complement it well. For a rain jacket, a removable flannel lining might be just the thing!⁠

We chat about lining styles, methods, fabrics, and more in Episode 187 - listen in if you missed it or if you just want a refresher. ⁠
