Day 11 of #memademay2026 is an @iam_patterns Gaia top, and you bet it was worn under a thick jumper all day π₯Ά
I've not made this blouse is ages and I forgot how quick it is to sew up! I used the free add-on for the ruffle shoulders.
Fabric was from @rainbowfabrickilburn

Embracing the quick pics rather than endless photos for this year's Me Made May!
A Sunday round up of my makes, patterns and fabric from the last week.

Day 9 of #memademay2026 and finally a sunny day for one of my many Nells!
@the_crafty_pie fabric / @tillybuttons ##sewingnell with puff sleeves and an additional tier!

Day 8 of #memademay2026 is a @tillybuttons Nell blouse in @libertyfabrics .
As much as I love this blouse, I need to take some off the length as it feels a bit long!

Back to back @newcrafthouse Everyday Tops! This version is finished the armholes with bias binding instead of adding sleeves!

Day 4 of #memademay2026 and its a Zadie Jumpsuit! I love how versatile this pattern is and how easy it is to wear. Although I need to add a bit of length back to the bodice when I make my next!

In theory, I'm going to do a Sunday round up of my Me Made May week. But the reality of that is I'm already a day late π
Anyway - here are my first three days of Me Made May! It's a great way to document what I'm wearing and what I get drawn to in my wardrobe. Even though I live in my me-mades all the time!

Day 3 of #memademay2026 is an Anthea Blouse by @annaallenclothing in Broderie Angalise from @rainbowfabrickilburn π§΅βοΈ
This is a new make which I've worn a few times but never shared! This colour fabric was on my shopping list specifically to match these jeans ππ»

Day 2 of #memademay2026 is a fairly new to me pattern - the Ashton Top from @helens__closet ! I've made an in-between length and it works perfectly for me. So much so, that I've made three so far in the last 6 weeks π
Double #memade today as Louis' is in a new pair of shorts π₯° Baja Shorts from @peekaboopatternshop
Both fabrics from @rainbowfabrickilburn ! Oranges was last year and the gingham I picked up at the Stitch Festival!
