Me Made May Day 30: Penultimate is a great word isn’t it?! Another chilly day in Melbourne, kept cozy by my #nurturedsweater over #mnfloreat in lovely bamboo knit (aka secret pyjamas) and jeans and boots to make cycling easy (and warm). I tucked my dress up to make sure it didn’t get caught in the wheels! .

Day 31 of #memademay2019 Wearing the newest shibori-dyed dress. This technique is called "Itajime Shibori; Board Clamped". Fold the cloth into a geometrical shape and then sandwich the cloth between two pieces of wood, which bind it with strings. I usually use rubber bands and kite strings
Fabric: Cotton
Notion: Dylon (Navy blue)
Day 23 of #memademay (whoa, where did May go?!?) and I’m not wearing anything exciting, but I am finally feeling a whole lot better after being sick all week so I thought I would pop in and participate before it’s over! I had such high hopes for productivity for 2019 and here we are, almost halfway through the year, and I feel I have accomplished nothing. I’ve been kinda despondent of late after shelving the pattern that I had been working on since February. I have been toying with taking a hiatus from pattern making , I just feel like between my job and parenting the twins I can’t get anything done and I have no time to sew for fun anymore. I miss having a creative outlet sometimes.
Anyways so today I am wearing chambray #thecalyerpants from way back when the pattern was still in development and self-drafted t-shirt which is probably going to be my (very unexciting) next pattern.

#memademay2019 day 25. Wearing @shopwiksten #wikstenshift in red & taupe striped linen from @moodfabrics. I cut a size 0, and shortened it by 3 inches. I also moved the slit up 2.5”. .

I surprised myself this morning by reaching for my #mnash jeans even though I wore them a bunch on my trip. They’ve become pretty comfy and the rise is perfect for all my slightly cropped tops, like this self drafted boxy number. This outfit is checking all the boxes—comfy, casual, kinda cool #memademay2019
I made a pair of #yantaoveralls this weekend and they were perfect for chilling outside and eating too much bbq today For reference, I cut a size 6 (measurements put me at size 8) but took in both the sides and inseam for a closer fit. The fabric is a really nice recycled cotton canvas that I picked up from @clothhouse on my trip to London. Definitely gonna wear these a bunch this summer! #memademay2019
