day 15 of #MeMadeMay. Might look like a skirt but it's PANTS! These are the #zerowasteblockpant (Brigitta Helmersson), my first foray into zero waste sewing. Made in 2023 in size 5XL as that was my postpartum hip size at the time. I've since added mods and would probably make a 2XL-3XL now.

Another of my TNT, the #WhitlamSkirt (Muna and Broad). Size F graded to D at waist. Thrifted knit fabric.
My top here is RTW and a gift from my sister, but Muna and Broad has a similar pattern in their Atrax Top.

day 12 of #MeMadeMay. I made this #GeorgiaDress (Eliz Suzann) in 2022 when I was getting back into garment sewing. Size OSP2, dress length — this pattern also comes in top and tunic lengths.
The fabric is thrifted poly. A reverse image search tells me that it was originally from a Hawaiian brand!

day 11 of #MeMadeMay. I made this #HopeDress (Style Arc) last month from a thrifted flat sheet. Size 18, with the only mods omitting the pockets, facings, and the back loop closure.
I have another cut out and many more planned!

one of my creative goals for this year is to kickstart a drawing habit again. I drew constantly as a kid and teen!
I still have yet to actually *buy* a sketchbook 😂
welcoming recommendations for Canadian made ones!

11th hour full circle with 2 finished projects and a WIP!
I made a self-drafted balaclava with a blue quilt star motif, and a blue variegated #SophieScarf.
In progress is a #SweaterNo8 with some hacks planned to make a tabard / layering piece.

I made it this far with a #SophieScarf before switching to a more weather appropriate project. Balaclava incoming!

Casting on for #SkyKAL!
I tried figuring out how long I've had this cotton yarn in my stash... and tbh I have no idea. I know I've had it since at least 2019 and it was from a #Fibreshare swap (iykyk).

Because I like to make things more complicated than they need to be, I made myself a Maker's Bingo for 2025. A tidy two prompts each month.
