#memademay Day 29 - prettier on the inside. I am still so pleased with the facing/lining on my princess jacket. Its so clean and neat - although here it does need an iron 🤣

#memademay Day 28 - rainbow or most colourful outfit.
Most of my me-mades are colourful, and I own quite a few different coloured cardigans to pair them with.
I couldn't decide which colour went with this dress best and photographed several 🙂

#memademay 25 - comfiest outfit. This stretch sateen dress is so comfy and has been worn so many times it's starting to fade now.

#memademay Day 26 - Summer dress. Most of my dresses count as summer dresses because I make them sleeveless so they're wearable all year round (with layers in the winter). And a few short sleeved ones like this border print princess seam dress.

Bonus pics of a dog coat and a bow tie I've made for Rusty. Milo is too new to us to have tested his tolerance for accessories 🙂

This won't be most people's 'Hollywood' but I think of this as my Barbie dress because its SO pink, and I bought the fabric and made it soon after the Barbie film came out.

But here is my favourite Gertie make (lamour/B6412) worn with a cardigan I knit from a 1950s vintage knitting pattern.

I have a load of different coloured Review (Australia) cardigans and belts to accessorise with. Sometimes I add earrings, hair flowers and cute shoes too, like with this novelty print Maria 🙂

#memademay Day 11 - Refashion. This Xmas fabric skirt used to be a surplice dress (from Gertie's Ultimate Dress Book). I've managed to rescue a few dresses in to skirts where I didn't get the bodice fit quite right.
There are Echidnas in the fabric print 😁
