Me Made May 2026

Friday 1st May

Having finished filming my YouTube video I have settled for the rest of the day on my S.O Sew Dressmaking Emily blouse in this beautiful Lise Tailor viscose made last year

I love this pattern, it's one of three versions and the only with the puffball sleeves which I think are so cute! I might have made the peplum on this one a smidge too long but I love it. Paired with RTW jeans although I'd love to make some simple Sew Liberated Chanterelle pants in solid colours to go with everything!

Saturday 2nd May

Super casual today for a Saturday at home, just wrapped up this mornings sewing social which was a pure joy!

I’m wearing Closet Core Pietra pants in a vintage cotton and a Sew Over It Ultimate T-shirt which has become my go-to for a fitted t-shirt.

This morning I finally hemmed my Silversaga Eleanora dress too so that is now ready to wear

Monday 4th May (bank holiday)

A little different today as I spent the morning cleaning and pottering in me made miss-matched pjs.

But then we headed out for a little photoshoot to get snaps of my Silversaga Eleanora dress. I feel absolutely fabulous in this dress, made in a cotton poplin from Roo-tid.

This dress was actually two years in the making as it got relegated to the WIP box - pressing the curved neckline to create the elastic channel was so frustrating!

I would 100% make this again though, but in something with much more drape like viscose - the poplin holds the shape in the dramatic sleeves but also the skirt wants to ride up as I walk!

Big thanks to amazing photographer hubby Andy for the gorgeous photos, we got some lovely ones of Mia and his parents at the same time

Tuesday 5th May

Today I’m wearing my Tilly and the Buttons Nell dress in a dashwood studio fabric that was in my stash a good 6 years!

Added a Sew Over It Ultimate T-shirt underneath as I got cold!!

I love this dress, really want to make a maxi version as well. Side ties to cinch in at the waist

Thursday 7th May

One week through already!! I missed yesterday, I was filming a video for YouTube showing loads of different makes so it was definitely a Me Made day!

Today I am wearing my Helen's Closet Falconer Pants with a S.O Sew Dressmaking Emily blouse. I don't wear these jeans as much as I was hoping, I think I struggle styling them as they are very wide leg and I don't like wearing tops tucked into jeans, so trying to figure out the best way of wearing them. I think I like this look

Yesterday we heading out into the New Forest for breakfast and to take some more fancy photos of the Tilly and the Buttons Mabel top I made.

I did lengthen the peplum and it is comfortable but think I’d lengthen it further still next time!

Bonus photo of the New Forest wildlife that have complete free reign!

I fancied dressing up a bit cute today for no one other than myself as Mia is home so not even a school run!

This is the Cinnamon Daisy Poppy dress with a little cardi I purchased from Sew Over It back in the old Lisa Comfort days.

I also made the little wired headband too.

Mia told me she loved my outfit and that it made me look 32 (6 whole years off!!)

A slight change in weather today means digging out this True Bias Marlo cardigan in cable knit from Lamazi, a firm cosy favourite!

Friday 15th May

Another cold and wet day here, so I’ve been in rtw jeans and my old favourite Billie sweatshirt from Tilly and the Buttons - this has had so much wear and is definitely looking pretty shabby these days when you get close
