#MeMadeMay #WearableToile of the #AshtonTop and PH shorts with #pockets and #FrenchSeams. The garments both took an incredibly long time to because so many steps were firsts and I made every possible. Still, they’re very comfy PJs. I really like the add-on #pockets on the Ashton, since they hold my iPhone very securely. The pockets on the shorts got taken up by the waistband so they aren’t so functional. SO much learning with both of these. #sewing

#FrenchSeams are the bomb! I still need to figure out how to do them well with pockets but I've figured out the basics and made wearable garments. I'm taking #sewing lessons with a very skilled sewist starting in 10 days and I'm going to try to bring at least 1 unique problem to each class, rather than worrying too much about garment completion. My #MeMadeWardrobe is ample for now. I'm much more concerned about acquiring permanent skills.

I can easily leave these tedious projects for a LOT longer than that! However, I finally finished my #WearableMuslin of a pair of shorts (made with a repurposed sheet) including #FrenchSeams and #pockets. They're wearable but the pocket openings are too tiny to be effective.

#MeMadeMay2023 The pants were one of my first makes. The rise is all errand there are sadly no #pockets. However, they’re comfy and functional and I spent hours searching the fabric markets in #Seoul before I found cotton prints for sale. The top is an AshtonTop #WearableMuslin made from a used sheet. It’s also sadly pocketless but I’m very happy with the facing, done with the #BurritoMethod. Also did #FrenchSeams so there are no raggedy edges.
