Hello,
Wow, week one of Me Made May is done - I've been checking out the hashtag on instagram regularly and gosh, there are some inspiring hand mades out there.
Today, as a little motivation to inspire you even more throughout the month, I have the absolute honour of hosting the first Me Made May prize pack which is... I just... you guys, this prize is amazing!!
Emma at Miss Maude is sponsoring an amazing prize of two metres of fabric and one pattern of the winners choice from her store PLUS she's going to be throwing in a surprise haberdashery piece, and goodness, there are so many wonderful things you might be lucky enough to receive.
I've recently purchased two fabrics from Miss Maude (Sun Spots and Flamingos), and they are stunning - Emma has such an eye for curating fabrics, patterns and haberdashery. If you haven't yet looked at her wares, make sure you set aside a bit of time, you'll be there for quite a while...
In regards to my personal challenge, as expected, I haven't quite been keeping up with the daily photos. Honestly, I think it's something that I just don't enjoy all that much any more. I love looking back at them, but taking them? Nope.
So, I'm not going to stress this part of my challenge. I still wear hand mades on a daily basis anyway, but I think I'll probably only take the odd photo when I feel like it. My knitting on the other hand, that's going great guns :)
If you'd like to see some of my me-mades, you check them out on instagram.
How have you been finding sticking to your challenge so far?

ReplyDeleteI'm not doing daily me made photos this year either, but an end of week look back.
I would absolutely choose the -LIBERTY DUFOUR JERSEY - MEADOW RAIN and either the Kelly Anorak or the Clare Coat!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd want some of that beautiful linen!
ReplyDeleteSome lovely fabric, including that cute flamingo chambray. I would probably get the Lark Tee and Liberty Dufour Jersey - Hesketh/Coral, a beautiful knit fabric which reminds me of 30's designs.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great giveaway. Tilly's Zadie dress and some Liberty Hesketh jersey, either coral or navy, would be fabsy!
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun giveaway, thank you! I would make the Roza shirt dress with Organic cotton Lawn - HYDRANGEA.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose! Luzerne trench and some canvas!
ReplyDeleteI am having so much fun seeing everyone's me-mades! I love how here in the Western US we begin seeing posts from the next day each evening. Fabric-wise, I would love the Indigo Splodge from the Little India collection. What beautiful fabrics Miss Maude carries!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to choose, I everything ;) but I really love the Bye Bye Birdie Batiste and I've been coveting the Named Leoti dress for a while

ReplyDeleteHi. I'm a relative newcomer to the world of online sewing and am blown away - and so relieved - to discover blogs like yours and the Miss Maude site (there is more to life than Spotlight!). I recently received my first pattern order from Miss Maude and she enclosed a wee swatch of a gorgeous jersey fabric - Liberty Dufour Nicola James (teal), so I might choose that. However I'm also in love with the cotton chambray flamingos! What I really need though is more TIME to sew... cheers, Sue

ReplyDeleteAlison x
Oh! I've had my eye on Miss Maude since it was mentioned in a post on the Curvy Sewing Collective Facebook page. That European laundered linen is delicious, especially the Goodnight colourway. I wonder if it would be the right weight for an Avid Seamstress Raglan dress?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I really like the Diamonds on Navy knit, I've been searching for a good windowpane fabric for a while and the triangles are a fun alternative! The pattern was much harder to choose, maybe the Cashmerette Appleton?

ReplyDeleteYou're not kidding about losing time on that site! I've never sewn with an Atelier Brunette knit - the Twinkle Night french terry is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would love the Morgan Jeans pattern. The fabric would be a much harder choice ... either a denim, or the Wildflower organic cotton lawn, the Poem organic poplin. She has so many gorgeous cottons!
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving the Papercut Patterns Watson jacket, as it's something I would probably wear but a pattern I might not buy for myself (as they don't offer it in PDF and their paper patterns are a wee bit expensive what with shipping costs)!
ReplyDeleteAs for the fabric portion, gosh. There's so many lovely ones to choose from! I have a real love of linen, though, so I think I'd have to go with the European Laundered Linen in Demon Scarlett! It would be good for so many things I'd probably have a hard time choosing what to make of it, honestly.
I have been eyeing up the grainline farrow dress sulphur linen combo! Would be a great summer dress ��
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway, I would love to have the Cotton Lawn on point fabric and the Paper cut Clover pattern. Thanks 😊

ReplyDeleteI would definitely pick the Bye Bye Birdie cotton batiste in navy :) And I'd go with the Archer shirt to use the fabric with! Such a fun combo and I've always wanted to make an Archer.
ReplyDeleteWow! It was hard to choose, but I'd go with the Megan Nielson Rowan tee and the Liberty Dufour jersey in blue Paper Garden.
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing the Kielo wrap dress by Named for a while! So no doubt I'd go for this!
ReplyDeleteThank you Miss Maude! I would love the Liberty Dufour Jersey in Hesketh, Navy - what a stunning print! And I've always wanted to sew a Grainline Willow Tank Dress so it might be time I got the pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome prize to win....if im the lucky winner I would choose the papercut pattern bowline sweater pattern but would have to take Emma's advice for the material!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I feel like a kid in a candy shop. The indigo pond life is gorgeous, actually the whole collection is lovely - this would be some special selfish sewing. I've been eyeing the moneta pattern for an everyday work horse - this would be for sensible sewing 😉 thanks so much for a wonderful opportunity!
ReplyDeletewow what a choice. think i'd go Deer and doe Bryuere shirt with some European laundered linen in silt grey.

So many choices - I'd look at the E1 denim floral filigree and the gorgeous Named Clothing Maisa denim jacket.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I love the idea of the COTTON LAWN - SOUVENIRS DE PARIS, ROYAL being made into a Deer and Doe Hoya blouse. The two metres would be enough to create a beautiful short sleeved version :-) From Mel J

ReplyDeleteI love the Wildflower cotton lawn and the Megan Nielson Dove top which has been on my 'to sew' list since it came out.
Loving all the me made inspiration going on.
ReplyDeleteNamed Clothing Astrid Wrap Trousers and Shorts would be the pattern I went for. Good grief do I need more trousers. The fabric would be some beautiful liberty print denim. Beautiful but beyond this humble nurses pocket at present.
I have been eyeing up the skirt with godets or thw kimono top bith by the frwnch label. Fabric shoppers dream at Miss Maude.
ReplyDeleteSonya
I really like the look of the merchant and mills 101 trousers and the silt grey laundered linen

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection of fabrics! Hard to choose...but I think I would go with the lili woven modal with a Papercut Patterns Skipper tunic
ReplyDeleteI totally understand about losing enthusiasm for taking photos every day of Me Made May. I feel the same. For myself, I will keep trying but not every day. The selection at Miss Maude's is stellar! I would love to try outerwear, particularly the Isla Trench by Named in the Floral Filigree A denim by Liberty of London. Wow, that would be incredible! Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSuch a hard decision! I'd love the Named Helmi blouse/dress pattern and Cotton Batiste Tabby fabric :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. Making a choice wasn't easy due to all those beautiful fabrics, but I've two beauties two match. If I'am the lucky winner I'am going to make Megan Nielsens Darling Range Dress using the Indigo Splodge fabric from the Little India Collection.
