Today's dress is a Seamwork Tacara.
seamwork.com/pdf-sewing-patter

I made it in a vibrant hot pink/magenta (the color of my hair freshly dyed) med-heavy weight knit. I believe I got this fabric super cheap from a craft thrift store that is sadly long gone.

If you're considering making this pattern, be a little cautious about how narrow the sleeves are, and look at the finished garment measurements - it comes in super wide on purpose.

The problem with #MeMadeMay is that most of my me-made clothes are quite wintery, and May tends to be not.

But today it's a lot cooler here so I'm sporting this recently completed #MyPreciousSweater while also knitting on a cardigan that will probably be great for May next year!

This morning we had a delightfully wriggly little visitor, pictured here in a bit of a huff because he wasn't allowed up on the couch. He'll be coming to stay with us for a few days soon so expect LOTS of dog pics and I'm not even sorry.

All Muna and Broad #MeMadeMay. Waikerie shirt, Banksia tank, and cropped Glebes (they have pockets with white piping! giant pockets, hold an A5 notebook and it would take more)
The Banskia tank is super comfy, like a bralette you could do starjumps in.

today is a hangout in sweatpants day, but luckily I made a sweatshirt!

The Seamwork Oliver seamwork.com/pdf-sewing-patter is a little more cropped than I liked, so I added two 6 inch wide rectangles to the bottom, which worked perfectly for me, and looks like it's on purpose with the seam across the sleeves.

mine is a super light sweater knit in teal.

#MeMadeMay2025 day 3! All me-mades today, and ALL THE LINEN: Pants No 1 from 100 Acts of Sewing (max waist 54 inches, max hip 74 inches), and Envelope Dress by Cris Wood (no upper size limit - pattern drafted based on measurements). Got to be honest, I don't think I've worn either of these since last May. The trousers fit better than I remember - perhaps my body has changed again since last year when I was contemplating how to alter them to make them fit better. (But haven't had time to do it in the last year so nevermind). I don't really know why I don't wear the Envelope Dress so much any more. I should! It's pretty comfy. #MeMadeMay #Sewing #SewnShownSeated

#MeMadeMay Today was a bad fatigue day so I got up, had a shower, got into a fresh nightie and had a nap. This is one of my many linen made-of-rectangles nighties to help with night sweats.

I've managed to wear me made items yesterday and today so unofficially I'm participating in #MeMadeMay today I am wearing my test Tilly and the Buttons Lotta, which I made from old sheets, and had to piece together. I find wearing test pieces all day gives me a good idea about the fit. In this case, I think the bodice needs to be longer.

For #MeMadeMay , a Cashmerette Lennox shirt dress. The pink bundle on the bed is the Muna and Broad Glebe pants that I made as pyjamas and wore earlier.
I modified the shirt dress so, instead of in seam pockets, it has big slash pockets (copied off the Glebes actually). I really dislike the way in seam pockets twist.

Okay, not starting strong, I'll admit. But I'm not going anywhere today, and it's too warm for my usual joggers. I dyed this t-shirt yesterday, it was white with hot pink print, now it's a very dark blue-grey? The necklace was also a me made from various bits and pieces.

But in penance, here's a new book for this month, 'Make, Sew and Mend' by Bernadette Banner. Required because I realised none of my other sewing books show how to hand-sew a buttonhole.
