This Me Made May I'm slack as usual, but I'll try

This Me Made May I'm slack as usual, but I'll try to post as much as possible. I'm seeing what pieces I wear the most this May so I can work out my style and look for gaps in my wardrobe.
At the moment my style is very much: in the garden digging for worms and sitting on the lawn for cuddles - as demonstrated here

If I say I want to do patchwork again please talk

If I say I want to do patchwork again please talk me out of it...

This garment has been very slow going for me. It started as a scrap-busting project, and that aspect has gone really well. But drawing, measuring the pieces and then individually cutting them out has been very laborious. The same with sewing them together, first as strips and then into a larger piece of fabric.

My sewing time is limited, a few hours here and there, fitted around work, and nap times, by the time it gets to evening I am exhausted. Creating the fabric, before cutting out the pattern adds another step to the process that honestly, I don't have time for.

But after that whinge, I am really pleased with how it's coming along. The pattern I am sewing @twigandtale #TTFabledress is lovely to sew, and the patchwork looks really effective. But my sewing time is precious.

What does everyone else think about patchwork?

When @fabricgodmother shared their new collection

When @fabricgodmother shared their new collection and I saw this incredible viscose linen frutta print I knew it was made for me!

The fact that is was just a few days before my holiday didn’t stop me and I spent every lunch break and evening sewing.

Hot off the sewing machine and straight into my suitcase, you’ll have to excuse the sunburnt photos ha

I made the tried and tested @annaallenclothing #pomonashorts and they turned out beautifully, I still have plans for a matching shirt and a dress for Robin so any pattern recommendations let me know in the comments…

Just a bit of satisfying pattern matching… I was

Just a bit of satisfying pattern matching…
I was trying to be as economical as possible with my fabric, and the checks were melting my brain. So I didn’t manage to get the pattern matching as good all over the jacket, but I don’t think it matters.
I also managed to keep enough fabric for another small project.
Do you follow the pattern lay instructions or just fit it in how you like?

I like to spend my weekends with Robin hunting for

I like to spend my weekends with Robin hunting for treasure on the beach, basking in beautiful nature. Brands like @analuisany are helping preserve the world around us with their sustainable practices.
This latest collection uses 100% certified GRS recycled glass as the main component. Every kg of recycled glass displaces the need to extract 1.2 kg of virgin raw materials. Every 10 percent of recycled glass used in production results in an approximate 5 percent reduction in carbon emissions and energy savings of about 3 percent.

Not only are they reducing carbon emissions, and cleaning up our planet they’ve also created some stunning pieces. I’m wearing the Emily earrings and the Maisie ring, the beautiful blue collar reminds me of the ocean.
If you’re interested in anything from the new collection or any of their other pieces you can use code RACCOONTAIL20 for 20% off

I was recently part of the testing group for @sewi

I was recently part of the testing group for @sewing.masin #JameelaJacket and heres the final Jacket.
I really loved making this, its a lovely quick sew as it's unlined and boxy shape.
I used this lovely check cotton twill from @fabricgodmother which I can now see blends into my kitchen wall colour.

I think I should have picked a wall colour that worked better as a photography background, what do you think?
