To kick-start my #mmmay16 pledge of working through my fabric stash, I thought I’d start with my most recent purchase! These are the Luna pants from Made by Rae, made with Atelier Brunette’s Cachette fabric that I bought from Anna Ka Bazaar on my recent trip to Paris (oh so many beautiful fabrics!). Summer is… Continue reading Cachette Luna Pants
So here it is – it’s Me Made May! I tried to take part last year, but being in the middle of my Masters finals wasn’t exactly conducive to worrying about what I was going to wear. This year I’m free from revision and have a better developed me-made wardrobe (see some of it below!)… Continue reading #mmmay2016

I… Continue reading Marlborough Bra

Probably not…) so the majority of my time is being spent trying to remember everything that’s been said to me in the last nine months. However, there is only so much maths that can enter into my brain… Continue reading Salme Double Layer Camisole, aka ALL the pineapples.
I promised that I’d try and catch up with a few of my recent makes, so I’m going to make a start with Lilou from Tilly and the Buttons’ Love at First Stitch book! My ex-housemate Caroline came down to stay about a month ago and requested that we make a trip to the fabric… Continue reading T&TB Lilou Dress
