Lovely makes Angela! You always look great but wear what brings you joy 🤩. I think you might be happier in slightly longer jersey dresses without pockets and for the summer jumpsuits and dresses and T-shirts. Love a T-shirt! Roll on summer! Well done for your run and hoping all ok at the vets. Keep smiling 😊 it really suits you ❤ xxx
Hi Angela, if you love the Lotta dress by TATB, have a go at hacking the skirt together with the bodice from this Bettine pattern. Really easy to do and is great for those of us who love a scoopy neckline. Loving series MMM series. It’s giving me plenty of sewing inspiration. Love Karen x
I just finished watching all 3 of your videos for Me May Made that you've done so far. I love the way you are participating. I will plan to do that. Just starting now because I think that will really help me decide WHAT to sew. It can get so overwhelming with all the lovely things to make. TY
Thank you so much! And I’m so glad you’re enjoying them and it’s helping you too - honestly it’s really helping me to focus on what to sew next! Thank you 🥰
I loved this. Your smile and laugh is so infectious, I find myself grinning like a Cheshire Cat the whole way through. It’s great that you’re gathering lots of information about your wardrobe and making decisions about the way forward. I loved the harlequin dress…..such fun!
Hello Angela, I‘m so much enjoying you MMM videos! Although my own personal style is a bit different (apart from the universal jeans and t-shirt/jumper look 😊) I find it so interesting and motivating!! Looking forward to the next part 😍
I’m with you Angela, I went through a real phase of T-shirt dresses but now I find them too close-fitting and too warm. I seem to be all about natural woven fabrics atm, whereas previously I was all about the knits! Funny how times and fashions change, but it makes it more fun for those of us who sew! 🧵
It was a lot of fun this week. I am trying to spend more time in my sewing room. I really enjoy my hobbies. Of course it is still spring here in Texas and I am distracted by the yard and garden.
@@DevonThreadTales he's plodding on Angela thanks 👍. He has a few issues but still enjoying a walk, play and his food 😜. Oh.. and keeping us up at night.. It's like having toddlers isn't it 🙄🤪🥰😘
Hi. It’s good to see you are enjoying this exercise. I have loved everything you have worn, the first dress did remind me of a tennis dress, do you play? I’m so pleased to see you are making the Lea dress, so lovely and the fabric is nice, although can’t remember what it is. And that you are embracing buttonholes lol 😊. I haven’t as many me made clothes as you, not sure if I said that before but am wearing things I haven’t worn for a long time and assessing those. I’ve also been adding my patterns to stashhub and throwing out/donating those I don’t like any more or are too small for me. I have plenty of good ones I like but it’s also helping me identify what’s missing so thanks for inspiration ❤
Oh the button holes 🙈🙈🙈 they still give me nightmares 🤣🤣🤣 Aahh it sounds like you are doing really great and using me made May to work well for you ☺️ Thank you 🥰
Thanks Angela. Enjoying this series. I just bought the knit book to make those trousers (when I get round to it!). Sarah should be getting commission. 😊
You said you feel too warm in the T-shirt dresses…. Have you thought of making those patterns in wick-away fabric for summer? Maybe that is hard to find…. The harlequin fabric dress is less clingy and looks like you are more comfortable wearing it. Also slightly longer than the others …more flattering. Very nice
Love your avenir jumpsuit. I’ve just finished the Wendy ward Derwent trousers, they are very wide legged. I’m sure Sara took some width out of the legs on her ones so I did the same. So just to warn u lol I think I like them. Just need to give them an outing now to be totally sure 😂
I think your Agnes dress suits you much better than the Stasia 😜, perhaps wearing it when it’s at the very beginning of spring will make it less hot, you could wear it with skin coloured tights. I am in love with your Avenir, it’s such beautiful colourful fabric, right up my street lol. Well done with your run! Love the top tucked into jeans, my aim once the muffin top has gone lol xx
Your Lotta dress and Avenir look lovely. I love the Avenir. I’ve just got the Wendy Ward book, I need to trace the pattern and get them made. Hope your dog is okay
I have never been successful in making covered buttons, although I love the way they look. I am interested in how you make yours, please. You looked so lovely in your Avenir Jumpsuit
Great vlog, Elysian body suit is fab, and I’ve made quite a few, tip is check the top section for length as it needs to come under the boobs, i add 1.5 inches on to mine, once you get that bit sorted its a great and actually comfortable body suit, and easy adapted for poppers. Thank you for taking the time to share
Oh well done on your run. I m trying to get started running again after a longish injury break. Im trying to decide whether to make a longer vs a shorter Stasia dress ......with some AGF jersey thats been waiting for years !! Lovely to see the seaside in your vlogs too 😍
I think the length of the Lottie dress was perfect on you. The other two t-shirt dresses were just a little bit short. All your makes are lovely though 😊.
So glad you are excited to sew again. Really enjoyed your MMM and liked the idea of making notes as you wore your clothes. Also congratulations on your 10k, more in the future to come?
I thought that green dress you've decided to ditch looked fabulous on you.Totally understand if it's purely on the basis of being too hot. On the driving range experience - you were using one of the most difficult clubs possible!!! If it was a man's driver that's even more difficult. Next time, if there is a next time, use a 9 or 7 iron. Gives you a much better chance of connecting with the ball and it has nothing to do with hitting the ball hard, it's down to timing. A friend of mine took up golf in her late 50s, she's totally unsporting, but is now absolutely hooked and it's her and her friends who go to Portugal, and the like, for golfing holidays, rather than the men!! Love your videos and very jealous of that fabulous countryside around.
Thank you ☺️ I tend to just sew them and then if they need it too stitch the seam allowance down. More often than not they don’t need sewing down though xx
Lovely makes Angela! You always look great but wear what brings you joy 🤩. I think you might be happier in slightly longer jersey dresses without pockets and for the summer jumpsuits and dresses and T-shirts. Love a T-shirt! Roll on summer! Well done for your run and hoping all ok at the vets. Keep smiling 😊 it really suits you ❤ xxx
Thank you so much Sue 🥰❤️
I'm really enjoying your Me Made May approach, it's lovely to see you enjoying sewing again! Congratulations, too, on the 10k run! 🙂

Big congrats on your 10k 🙌 🎉 so pleased that your foot felt ok. Thanks for sharing your Me Made May, I’m really enjoying it 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Great me made Angela 👌💖. I hope all is well with your dog 🙏... going through the same thing with Merlin our whippet too 😏🐾🍀
Oh no Sally - I hope Merlin is ok. Lottie has got so slow and is not really herself any more. It’s very sad 😢
@@DevonThreadTales he's plodding on Angela thanks 👍. He has a few issues but still enjoying a walk, play and his food 😜. Oh.. and keeping us up at night.. It's like having toddlers isn't it 🙄🤪🥰😘
I love this way of approaching Me Made May, a real look at have & love,lacking, have but need to change, needs to go!
It’s been really interesting to do. Thank you 🥰

Good idea - I will have a think about that and finding that sort of fabric. Thank you ☺️
ooh you would look fab in the Elysium! And the Pomonas are a great wide trouser pattern if you're looking for one!
Thanks Sarah - I can’t wait to make it! 🥰
Love your avenir jumpsuit. I’ve just finished the Wendy ward Derwent trousers, they are very wide legged. I’m sure Sara took some width out of the legs on her ones so I did the same. So just to warn u lol I think I like them. Just need to give them an outing now to be totally sure 😂

Your Lotta dress and Avenir look lovely. I love the Avenir. I’ve just got the Wendy Ward book, I need to trace the pattern and get them made. Hope your dog is okay
Aaahh thank you - my dog is ok - but just keeping a very close eye on her.
Thank you 🥰
I have never been successful in making covered buttons, although I love the way they look. I am interested in how you make yours, please. You looked so lovely in your Avenir Jumpsuit
Thank you - I will do a mini video on them for you 🥰

Thank you 🙏🏼 she’s ok, but we do need to keep an eye on her ❤️
Oh well done on your run. I m trying to get started running again after a longish injury break. Im trying to decide whether to make a longer vs a shorter Stasia dress ......with some AGF jersey thats been waiting for years !! Lovely to see the seaside in your vlogs too 😍
Thankyou 😊!! I'm sure it will look lovely no matter what you decide!
I think the length of the Lottie dress was perfect on you. The other two t-shirt dresses were just a little bit short. All your makes are lovely though 😊.

Thank you so much! This is so lovely of you 🥰❤️
Could you let us know what size you made in the Avenir jumpsuit? Thank you!!
Hia - I made the size small 🥰
Great vlog as always love your style and sewing choices hope your little dog is okay ❤❤
Thank you! 😊 She's ok for the moment ❤️

Aahh thank you - I was absolutely useless - and any help is greatly appreciated- thank you 😂❤️
Cute jumpsuit, love colors 😊
Thank you ❤️
Lovely me mades! Wondering how you finish your t-shirt necklines?
Thank you ☺️
I tend to just sew them and then if they need it too stitch the seam allowance down. More often than not they don’t need sewing down though xx
Your clothes all fit you so well. Do you have to alter them? Do you have to do a full bust adjustment?
Sometimes I need to adjust them - I am narrower at the shoulder and fuller at the bust - so they don't always work as per the pattern.
Thank you 🥰
Could you turn the dress into a t-shirt instead? Natural fibres help for feeling hot try linen, hemp, even a light weight merino.
That’s a great idea - and thank you too for the fabric suggestions. Thank you 🥰
Can you make that dress into something else? Top? Shorts? Skirt?
That’s a great idea - thank you ☺️
Oooh am I first? Love it!
He he he - I think you were 😂❤️
