Haven't made a lot of wearables but a few #MeMadeMay

I know clean finishing can be added to most projects but redoing all the seam allowance and changing assembly sequence takes brain power. I would love to find more #sewing patterns that have built-in finishing that *isn't* just serge/zigzag.

Bags, tie-wrap top, weird blue top: self-pattern
Button-ups: Thread Theory's Fairfield
Pants: Ready to Sew's Papao (heavily modified, french seamed)

More deets on expiring blog dirchansky.com/freetalk

collage of 3 outfits, all worn with the same dark tie-top pants (Papao) and black loafers. Outfit 1 has a patchwork blueberry body with bright blue sleeves and pocket. The bag is horizontal shaped with a short handle, with a bright yellow/orange/red/black with a self-design marine print featuring eels, cuttlefish, and shrimp. Outfit 2 is an outer patchwork tie-wrap top in red/purple/orange hues. The inner shirt is a button-up in red/black/yellow/white paisley all-over print, with flower-shaped mother of pearl buttons. The bag is a burgundy roll-top, very short handled, and horizontal shaped. Outfit 2 features a button-up shirt with flowers and foliage print (eyeballed and recreated from Tsuruno, a video game character from Like a Dragon) and black mother of pearl shell buttons. The sleeves are rolled-up to expose the paler unprinted side.

Lost (she/they)

Me Made May has been a little rocky this year. I knit this pair of test socks as a learning experiment since it's been nearly nine years exactly since I made my last pair, and I didn't have any old notes about my preferred size and construction to reference. They're a bit too short. Also, my cuff gauge got looser, so it sags without ribbing. I did a cute little crochet bubble border at the top, but I may rip out that along with the cuff and heel to extend the body so that these actually fit. It's wild that a pair of calf-height socks used to take me five days to knit, and now I could finish a pair in three or less. It's devastating to know that practice does in fact make you better and faster at something. :blobfox_laugh_sweat: #MeMadeMay #knitting

#MeMadeMay-ing all over the place with my stretched out, scruffy old favouritest cardigan in the whole world.

I've been planning to make a green one but maybe I need a new yellow one too, this one is definitely a bit worse for (years of constant) wear.

Since someone always asks when I post this, it's the Lorelei Cardigan by Deni Sharpe and yes, you totally need one too 😁

p.s. I would say "this mirror needs a clean" but I've been saying that for at least two years so we might as well just make our peace with it now.

Cropped mirror selfie that cuts off my head and the bottom half of my legs. I'm wearing an indistinct all-black outfit, but over the top of it all is a long golden yellow crocheted cardigan with chonky ribbing, a hood, long sleeves and of course pockets. If you zoomed in you would see many bobbles and fuzzy bits and general signs of wear.

The problem with #MeMadeMay is that most of my me-made clothes are quite wintery, and May tends to be not.

But today it's a lot cooler here so I'm sporting this recently completed #MyPreciousSweater while also knitting on a cardigan that will probably be great for May next year!

This morning we had a delightfully wriggly little visitor, pictured here in a bit of a huff because he wasn't allowed up on the couch. He'll be coming to stay with us for a few days soon so expect LOTS of dog pics and I'm not even sorry.

Cropped selfie of my general torso area. I'm sitting down and smiling slightly, wearing a long sleeved and aggressively purple crocheted jumper with an all-over diamond stitch pattern. I'm holding up a navy blue lacy cardigan knitting project, but no real detail is visible.
A very adorable, silky brown Cavalier King Charles Spaniel lying down on a beige carpet. He has his face in between his front paws with the typically grumpy resting expression of his breed, his back legs are stretched out behind him to take up as much room as possible.

All Muna and Broad #MeMadeMay. Waikerie shirt, Banksia tank, and cropped Glebes (they have pockets with white piping! giant pockets, hold an A5 notebook and it would take more)
The Banskia tank is super comfy, like a bralette you could do starjumps in.

A fat white woman squints in the sun in a sunny garden. She is wearing a cropped white shirt with boxy short sleeves over a grey blue tank top. She's also wearing khaki coloured shorts and pastel rainbow crocs. There's a shelf on the wall with potted plants and a red metal dragonfly nailed to the wall. There's a raised bed with a dark heuchera among other plants. The top of the wall gives way to a bushy ivy and blue sky with a hint of cloud.
