#MeMadeMay and
#The100DayProject
Continuing to wear #MeMade clothes every day in some sort of combination, and I'm doing little #sewing projects most days for my 100 days. I got to sew with one of the local groups on Friday, and on Thursday, I walked my sister through the steps for making a quilted zipped pocket for glasses, charging cords, or anything else that a person needs to protect and find quickly. The red zipped pocket was given to one of the quilters who keeps sharing her stash.

#MeMadeMay Feel free to mute this hashtag if you aren't interested. Most of my wardrobe is no #MeMade at this point.
Today's look is a mockneck Dawson Top from Helen's Closet, paired with linen shorts sewn with the Chanterelle Pants pattern from Sew Liberated. Both were pretty easy makes, using fabric I loved. Of course, I immediately splashed my top with a slightly greasy soup. A reason why I often choose print fabrics. The linen was bought in Korea.

You'd better wear your new #MeMade jacket over there to impress them with!

I (finally) finished making this top today. It's a wearable toile, testing an adaptation of a dress pattern with darts into a more boxy top to go with skirts or trousers.

The trim has been in my stash for ages, so is nice to finally have it on something.

The UFO is now an FO!!

Looks great! I think you'll really enjoy your #MeMade jacket!

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

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.

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.

Wow! Fabulous fabric and excellent modifications. Now that I've expanded my #MeMade wardrobe, I don't look much at ready-made clothing, but this looks great.

@APBBlue
That's totally how I feel about #sewing, especially now that I have a #MeMade wardrobe! It's even better when I can upcycle fabric and clothing that would otherwise wind up in the landfill!

@Giselle
Thanks!! I'm currently faffing about, as the Brits would say, because it's my sew day an hour away, and I have allergy symptoms disturbing my morning and making my head spin. I'll wait a bit longer before deciding whether to make the journey. The days are so productive once I get there!
I've had #sewing inspiration lately because several young women have gushed over my #MeMade clothing! One of them told me that my style rocks! I definitely don't have a cookie-cutter look.
Classes are quite pricey, but taking them really keeps me on track with my makes, helping me to solve the inevitable problems that arise. Hope you find a way through the obstacles to your sewing.

@popchicken
That looks great! I wear a #MeMade wardrobe almost exclusively now, and have ventured into quilt-as-you-go, so there may be a quilted #MossJacket somewhere in my future!

Of the ten garments I'm wearing today I made five (counting a pair of socks as one garment). My grandmother made a sixth (approx 22 years ago) and my aunt a seventh (approx 18 years ago).
Of the remaining three garments, one was bought second hand, one from an ethical clothing company, and one from a cancer fundraiser.
I'm happy with the direction my wardrobe is moving in. Also I am nice and warm, wearing four wool garments (three knitted, one crocheted) and two of flannelette.

@kamikat
Those are very cute and they look very comfortable. Like the others have suggested, I love to add a contrasting component somewhere in my #MeMade clothes.

I love these linen shirts so much I had to make more than one! Lightweight, comfy, and perfect for hiking, travel, or running errands — even in the Texas heat ☀️ A go-to in my capsule wardrobe + a popular sewing project with my students full of techniques you can use in other garments. Style + skill in one! ✂️🧵

@BrambleBearWhuffling @malcircuit
One of the things that I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I will work like a beaver on my projects when there are other folks around me. I’ve also primarily focussed on #sewing my own clothing for a half dozen years now and amazingly, I now wear an almost entirely #MeMade wardrobe. A lot of that is thanks to sewing classes, sew days, and online maker times. #BodyDouble magic!

Garment makers: what items of clothing did you start with? I'd like to learn garment sewing and figure I should start with something simple.

Beginner friendly project suggestions welcome! (and I'm already comfortable with my sewing machine.)

Excuse the mess while I learn a new platform!
In the meantime, here’s my latest FO. It’s the #halibutsweater by Boyland Knitworks. Top down, circular yoke. Mod notes on my Rav page!

My sandals self destructed while I was on vacation so I'm trying to make my own out of some random poly/cotton canvas and a cut up old boot mat. Here's an initial stab at a layout for the straps. This is not what I'll end up with, but it's more comfortable than I expected.

I finished this shawl/scarf this afternoon. Made with Cotton Kings Sultan Shadow, it's nice and lightweight. It's unfortunate that I will probably have to wait til the Autumn to actually use it in earnest!

@emmaByrneAuthor
Haha, and I'm all about wearing skirts and dresses, especially #MeMade!
Currently working on patterns for pants so that I can really establish the ideal rise for me. Working on PJ shorts first, with #FrenchSeams and #pockets, of course!

So I've been playing around with making an ink. I blame @evilrooster

This would be a pretty old style iron-gall ink except I don't have oak galls. I have arbutus bark instead.

Arbutus bark: This stuff just falls off the tree in my front yard this time of year in these thin, brittle, brown sheets. I picked this up off the ground, crumbled it into smallish pieces and stuck it in this little cloth bag so it would be easier to fish out at the end.

Had to make a 45-minute round trip to be reunited with my #MeMade #MossJacket in Kalispell. #MeMadeMay2023 @sewing #roadtrip #Montana

@sewing There is a lot that I like about this #MeMade #GypsumSkirt although the contrasting waistband/pockets really highlight my breadth, something I wasn't shooting for. Still, I managed to enclose ALL of the seams, which I'm thrilled about and it's a fun style in many ways. The solid fabric used to be a rarely-used flat sheet. The dragonfly fabric was purchased in the fabric district in Tokyo.

I'm still writing up the pattern but I finished the sample for my woodland hat and we went out to take photos so I can't resist giving you a little sneak peek 😁 #knitting #KnitwearDesign #MeMade #SlowFashion #colourwork

Oops, I posted this pic without #AltText or any text! Anyway, I'm gradually trying to snap some photos of my #MeMade clothes, now that I have a decent tripod and phone. This dress was made about 4 years ago in #Vietnam with some #BaliBatik. I took a dressmaking class and the tailor helped us to draft patterns. I'm happy with the match with the #MossJacket I made last year with a recycled sheet and some patterned cotton I bought in #Sinagpore. Also, new #haircut.
