#memademay2022 Day 7. Oh my! I've made it a whole week on this challenge and feel like I haven't even put a dent in my wardrobe. That's a good thing. And I'm learning so much about posting. My kids are coming in clutch. Yes, I said clutch. 😂 Striped #Roscoeblouse by @truebias raglan sleeve feature is my favorite. Fabric used is a drapey rayon from Fabric.com I would love to make a dress with this pattern but that hasn't happened yet. I have made her #emersonpant and #hudsonpants and the #novajumpsuit and of course the #ogdencami I love her patterns and instructions they are great, highly recommend. Also, #blackwoodcardigan Posted about this one on day 1 of this challenge #sewingenthusiast #rayon #lovetosew #myfingershurt😢 #arthritis #sewing #babylock

Look what arrived! This beautiful linen cotton blend canvas from Etsuko Furuya was begging to be made into a pair of Emerson Pants. Love them! Just finishing the waist band today and wearing them tonight. Where am I going? No where, just looking pretty while I knit on the front porch. #makerstudio #shopsmallbusiness #shoplocal #fabricstore #sewingfun #sewingstudio #emersonpant

Wearing my first completely me-made outfit! The #toastersweater was made with an organic cotton fleece and the #emersonpants made with a beautiful stretch velvet from #treadleyardgoods! #mytreadlemake

Finally the sun is out and I can wear my #emersonpant shorts by @truebias. I wanted to recreate a pair of lovely chambray cullotes I wore through last summer. I made these shorts as a toile before I made the full culottes. I needed to give myself a bit more room in the crotch and should have tightened the elastic more, but pleased with how they turned out. I am also amazed I have got my legs out on Instagram, the power of #memadeclothes ! #truebiaspatterns #emersoncroppants #memadeeveryday #imakemyownclothes #memademay2021

Finally the weather is good, it’s nice not to wrap up in winter woolies!! Today I’m wearing my #emersonpant by @truebias which I made last year in lockdown.

I am a sucker for neutrals. This Zoey + Emerson combo is a favorite in my wardrobe. The Emersons were sewn up in a linen rayon blend and the Zoey tank in a cotton / spandex ribknit. ⁠ #truebiaszoey #emersonpant

The Emerson Shorts are hot off the press! With all of this hot weather I quickly realized that I was in need of a pair of shorts. What better pattern to use then my favorite Emerson Pant & Short! I made these shorts out of the Essex Linen Cotton blend. I think I'll wear my new shorts to Art on the Street downtown on Sunday. Have a fantastic weekend! #makerstudio #shoplocal #shopsmallbusiness #fabricstore #fabric #sewingstudio #sewingfun #memade #sewyourownclothes #emersonpant @truebias

That’s me in the middle wearing my second pair of Emerson Pants from @truebias - lengthened to full length. The fabric was purchased at Mood several years ago and was originally meant for the Farrow Dress from Grainline. It’s canvas-y with a little bit of stretch and looks hand-printed - the color saturation isn’t consistent. These were made a couple of years ago and have gotten a good bit of wear. I feel ever-so-slightly dressed up when I wear them. . That’s my husband on the left and we had just had dinner with our friend who married us almost 13 years ago. He moved away shortly after and we hadn’t seen him since then. SO nice to catch up. (We’ve all been vaccinated and we maintained distance and mask-wearing, removing them just for the picture.) . #theslewist #emersonpant #truebias #memademay #memademay2021 #momentarilylikebeforetimes . ps- @cocosbeforebros Were you here earlier today? I could have SWORN I saw you as you were leaving (but too far away for me to say anything). If not, you have a doppelgänger!

Linen pants in Japanese linen- just in time for sun 🌞 #emersonpant#truebias#sewover50#memademay#sewcialist#lovetosew#seattlefrocktails#seattleasg

Well...here they are!! I sewed until they were done last night so it was a 2am bedtime but I love them!! @truebias #emersonpant Grateful to my patchwork practice for a perfect crotch seam match up. I added 1 inch length to get them sitting better on me.

New pants! Hot off the sewing machine and the sun is finally shining in Los Angeles. It’s the perfect time for a stroll. These rust colored trousers are @truebias #EmersonPants whipped up in a fabric that’s new to me. It’s a Stretch Cotton/Tencel Twill that’s a lot more weighty than linen fabrics like the pattern calls for. As I was sewing it up I wasn’t so sure if it would work with this pattern, but I’m surprisingly happy with how these turned out! I’m entering my wide leg trouser era. I made a size 10 waist and graded to a size 12 hip. I kept the length long for now, they are meant to be cropped but I kind of like how long they are! Fabric purchased online from @stonemountainfabric #truebias #LadyMcElroyFabric #EmersonPant #EmersonPants Top is rtw @bananarepublic

We can't get enough of this show-stopping stack of our 4oz Sandwashed Cotton! 🌈⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Available in a range of 16 hues, this Birdie fave fabric is a tad lighter (and a tad more affordable) than our previous Sandwashed Cotton line.

Winter is coming so some Emerson Pants made from 100% wool seemed a good idea. I’ve lengthened the pattern here. #truebias #truebiasemerson #wool #memade #patternhack #sewersofinstagram #winterwardrobe #quickmake

So as the rain pelts my window, I finish my summery orange linen @truebias Emerson pants. I made a pair last summer (didn’t get round to taking a picture of them) and wore them loads as they are very comfortable. Seriously tempted to wear them tomorrow, even if it’s still raining. #truebiasemersonpants #truebias #truebiasemerson #sewingpattern #imakemyclothes

MMM24 day 19 - another sunny Sunday sleeper dress It's a twofer today as we made a quick run down to the beach this morning for a swim before it got crowded. Swipe to see the legs that I very rarely get out in the British Isles, in a pair of True Bias Emerson pants shorts in chambray that are sadly not really fit for purpose any longer. My much expanded behind strains the waistband seams when putting them on, and some of the pleat stitching has popped 😬. I wore it with a refashioned second hand t-shirt that I based on the Hemlock tee from Grainline Studio. The dress I spent most of the day in is a shirred bodice sleeper dress inspired by the By Hand London tutorial from two years ago. It's made from a fantastic teal and black leopard print cotton viscose blend, and was constructed from three rectangle remnants I bought in a sale. I love it because it's comfy, feels quite stylish, is a blend of my best colours, and feels right for so many occasions, the least of which is sitting in my garden, in the sun, trying and failing to do a really hard sudoku. 🤔 Really hoping these sunny Sundays continue as they make life so much more pleasant. Patterns - @byhandlondon shirred dress tutorial, @truebias Emerson pants as shorts, and loosely based Hemlock tee from @grainlinestudio Fabrics - leopard print viscose cotton blend, and chambray #memademay #memademay2024 #byhandlondon #truebias #grainlinestudio #shirreddress #sleeperdress #emersonpants #truebiasemerson #sewistsofinstagram #sewistsofig #sewingcommunity

I made some red pants! I am loving my new @truebias Emerson Pants. I made them in canvas that I got ages ago from @stonemountainfabric . I love the weight of them- the feel almost like denim. And pleats in front and a secret elastic waistband in back, I mean, what’s not to love?! An excellently written pattern to boot. Can’t wait to make my next pair. 💗 #truebias #emersonpants #truebiasemerson #sewsbyday #memadewardrobe #handmadepants

First ever serged knit done! They’re not perfect, but they’re wearable and they fit. Now onto a pair of True Bias Emerson shorts in a linen-cotton blend! #seamworkshelly #truebiasemerson #berninausa #babylockovation

Looking for an easy to wear short or pant for summer? Let me suggest the Emerson. With it's elastic back waist and flat pleated front it's super comfortable. It comes with two waist height options - midrise and highrise - and three size ranges - 0-18, 14-32, and mini sizes 2T-10.⁠ #emersoncroppants #emersonshorts #truebiasemerson

Emerson shorts done! I lengthened them, added a turned up hem and as mentioned in my previous post, improvised the pockets with some home made bias binding from Liberty scraps and cotton lining fabric. Pleased with the finish on the final result. As has happened before, a shortage of fabric bought as a remnant forces creativity and inspires me to modify a pattern to make it my own. I’m not 100% on the fit of these. As a wearable toile they are good enough and it’s been a useful step toward making a pair of trousers. Fabrics from @guthrieghani. Pattern from @truebias #truebiasemerson #guthrieandghani #homesewing

Swipe to reveal! Here's how I over-dyed the shorts I made from my old dress. This is a lot more methodical than my usual resist dyes on fabric. I drew a grid on each leg of the shorts using wash out marker, then stitched in rows along the grid points to create uniform folds. It was a little tricky around the thick parts but didn't take as long as I feared. Obviously this technique would be much easier on fabric lengths. I always find it quite unpredictable how a particular fabric will take-up dye. This was a lot more reactive than I was expecting. I took it out the pot after 2 hours and rinsed a section to see how it was doing. To my surprise it ran clear so I took it out. I used 4g Procion MX black, which I thought was quite a scant amount for the weight of fabric, but it was probably too much. What do you think of the results? Would you consider this technique to revive a faded or stained garment? Personally I like the controlled chaos element, and the fact that the shorts are so unique! I would love to experiment more with structured resist techniques. #textileDyeing #garmentDyeing #upcycledFabric #resistDye #shibori #shiboriDye #shiboriResist #upcycling #tieDye #garmentDye #procionMX #trueBiasEmerson

I've still got a backlog of makes to post but these are fresh off the sewing machine! I'm literally striking while the iron is still hot! 😉😂 This is the #truebiasaster and #truebiasemerson in a lovely blue Indian cotton. I used some scrap cotton voile for the pockets because I couldn't deal with pattern matching 😅 It's my coord entry to the #st4s25 challenge hosted by @sewing_in_spain and @jenleggsews I made a size 10 in the Aster and added 3cm to the length and a size 14 in the Emerson high rise shorts, View D. I didn't do the double fold on the shorts hem so gained 1/4" in length. This coord will be perfect for my summer holidays in... the UK! 😂

Cheeky outfit with hastily made new trousers and an older blouse for walking around Excel and BETT today. I’ve held onto this sanded twill for sooo long as I just lived it and it made the most comfy gorgeous trousers. Great pattern @truebias @truebias #truebiasemerson trousers in a gorgeous navy sanded twill from @guthrieghani @theavidseamstress blouse with super fun viscose again from @guthrieghani Super fun and well matched little orange buttons from @milliemoonshop And my trusty white trainers as I covered over 15,000 steps!

Current project: #trueBiasEmerson shorts using fabric harvested from failed dress. What went wrong with the dress? First of all I hated the sleeves, too clingy and a weird length. I changed the sleeves, adding cuffs and it was better but I still hated wearing the dress because it felt 'heavy'. Then I got a dye stain right on the front. I dyed it a lovely colour to try and hide the stain but it didn't work and the dye turned out patchy. I put it aside for a couple of years to decide what to do with it. Although a failure, the project was a useful learning insight: I really don't like long sleeved dresses or dresses in weighty fabrics. The fabric (linen viscose) is actually a perfect weight for shorts and there was just enough to cut these, making use of the original hem. The stained part is on the inside of the pocket bag, so that problem is solved. I'm going to over-dye them black using a resist technique to hide the patchy colour (making it deliberately patchy) 🖤 #emersonShorts #refashioned #refashioning

As the sun was shining this weekend, I took the opportunity to make a pair of shorts using a pattern I’ve used before and some leftover fabric. A quick sew for a quick win in #memademay. I realised the colour matches the foxgloves in our garden. Rain is forecast for tomorrow…… . The pattern is the Emerson Pants by @truebias and the fabric was from @thefabricboutiqueuk. . . . #truebiasemerson #memademay2024 #sewing #emersonshorts #foxgloves

Oooft Day 13 #MeMadeMay2024 … after a drive back from a lovely day @sew_toon - thankfully much cooler than heading down to Newcastle on Saturday (somewhat hotter!) this Monday is hard to get back into the work groove but we did it. Wearing a firm favourite pattern - @fridaypatterncompany #AdrienneBlouse in a viscose jersey, shortened the sleeves as only had enough of the plain fabric to make it work and not enough of the patterned! On the Bottom half it’s my favourite pair of @truebias #TrueBiasEmerson in a flow viscose linen blend from @lamazifabrics - somehow, this fabric and pattern just work. Note To Self - make more in different colours. #SewistOfInstagram #FatSewist #MmmFat24 #MeMadeWardrobe #iMakeMyOwnClothes #SewScottish #FatSewingClub #SewistsOfInstagram

Day 3 look at @ynotfestival 🧡✨ I definitely saved the best 'til last — and thankfully by this point my spray tan had worn off just enough that the orange wasn’t too OTT 😅 When I saw Madness were playing, I obviously decided I needed some baggy trousers… so I made them! These are the @truebias Emerson pants, lengthened to wear long. I briefly wished I’d gone wider in the leg, but actually they’re so wearable day-to-day as they are, so I got over that quickly. The fabric is a deadstock viscose with a little stretch — just enough weight to drape beautifully without being clingy. The top has had a bit of a journey — it started life as a McCalls M5094 @simplicitymccallsuk dress that never quite fit, but last year I turned it into a co-ord with an added shirred back panel. The fabric came from my mother-in-law’s attic when I first got into sewing more years ago than I care to admit! 🧵💗 And yes, the sequin cami was back again — because why not? Then, when the sun went down and even orange and sequins weren’t enough to stand out, I lit up the fairy wings one last time 🧚‍♀️✨ Also — shoutout to the old-school orange VW van that ended up matching my outfit perfectly in one of the photos. No idea who our camping neighbours were, but the coordination was spot on 😂🧡🚐 Peak happiness, in every sense of the word. I love festivals for reminding me why I sew — and giving me permission to wear all the fun I can’t always get away with on the school run! #ynotfestival2025 #handmadewardrobe #sewingforjoy #truebiasemerson #mccallsM5094 #deadstockfabric #festivalfashion #memadeeveryday #fairywingfashion #sewinginspo #slowfashionstyle #whyisew #sewingcommunity #me_made_festival

MMM day #2!! There’s been a change of plan to today’s outfit! I pulled out my Fibremood billie trousers ( swipe to see ) but I’m just not feeling it- I did some alterations to the waistband last week because it was gaping. It’s much better now, but I think the seams need taking in at the outer thigh too. The fabric is stretchy and I think it’s stretching out as I wear them 😢. Soo todays outfit has ended up being: #trousers: true bias Emerson’s made in navy ramie from @guthrieghani T-shirt: TATB Tabitha in tencel modal from @northernmonkeymakes Cardigan: ready to wear from @nextofficial Shoes: my favourite leapord print wedges from @toms I definitely have a gap for some lightweight spring cardigans in my wardrobe - pattern suggestions welcome! ( not the marlo or Blackwood though!) #memademay #memademay24 #truebiaspatterns #truebiasemerson #ramie #tillyandthebuttons #sewingtabitha #sewing #sewistofinstagram #memadeeveryday #fibremoodbillie #dressmaker #northernmonkeymakes

One of my favorite summer outfits is a high waisted Emerson paired with a simple black Zoey tank. I liked this outfit on my model so much, that I went ahead and sewed myself a matching one. Swipe through to see my version of the outfit.⁠ #emersoncroppant #truebiasemerson #truebiaszoey

The pants that almost weren’t! (Also, concert black make #2 for the season 🖤) The Pattern: @truebias #emersonpants (lengthened 9” at the hem to take it from a cropped pant to a full-length trouser) The Fabric: @meetmilk_fabric Smooth Drape Tencel Twill in black from @minervadotcom fabric shop. Also used some Dritz soft waistbanding instead of the original waistband pieces again! Thoughts: I sewed these up…then they sat around for a week because I just did NOT feel like hemming them. I usually love hand hemming pants, and maybe it was because I was a little meh on the silhouette (kind of wish the legs were wider) or because I didn’t do a great job of drafting the longer leg. However I was letting out a pair of Athleta pants today and wondered why you can’t use the #10 edgestitching foot instead of the #5 blind stitching foot to do a blind hem. (They look very similar, and I never got around to getting the #5 foot.) Turns out you can, though it’s maybe not as easy! So I let out and blind hemmed those with my edgestitching foot and then turned around and hemmed these pants. Another concert black piece checked off ✅ #truebiaspatterns #truebiasemerson #meetmilkfabric #meetmilktenceltwill #minervafabrics #garmentsewing #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #sewing #slowsewing #slowfashion #handmadewardrobe #memade #imakemyownclothes #isewmyownclothes #sewersgonnasew #bernina720 #bernina10foot

Me Made May Day 24: the sun is shining and the weather seems to be finally warming up. I threw my Farm House cardigan on for the school run but had taken it off by the time I was walking up the hill to the school uniform shop for the second time (having realised I’d left my glasses in the car when I got to the top of the hill the first time 🙄). Today’s outfit is entirely me-made as I’m wearing my denim Emerson trousers and a @seamwork Rory top that I made three years ago from some lovely ribbed jersey bought from @sewmesunshine.uk #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMay2023 #SeamworkRory #Seamwork #TrueBiasEmerson #EmersonPants

I'm such a fan of this combo. I think that the Emerson pants and the Zoey top make such a great outfit. These Emersons were sewn up in a creamy white linen rayon blend and the Zoey top in a bamboo rayon rib knit.⁠ #emersonpants #emersonshorts #truebiasemerson #truebiaszoey

Emerson trousers finished! Totally love this long leg look - and I've loved wearing them. Made in a Viscose Linen mix from Minerva, that despite pre-wash did shed fluff when ironing (a lot!). That said, it has not creased too badly (photos taken after several wears, including a 3 he flight) so good from that perspective and they have pressed well when making. I could spend hours looking and analysing the fit of these, based on just these photos, but I've worn them plenty and been happy with how they felt so maybe I'll overlook those drag lines I can see... Adjustments included 1cm added to the rise front/back, then 3cm added just to front rise. 2in total added to side seams and legs lengthened by 11inches (a 2 1/4 in hem). View sewn was the mid-rise view so will be interesting to compare to the high waist view. #TrueBiasEmerson #TrueBiasEmersonPants @truebias #SewingTrousers #SewingTall

My most recent make has landed on the grid quite quickly! I finished cutting the threads on this one 2 days ago which is a quick turnaround for me. I might have gone slightly trigger happy with the labels on the shirt. Fabric: I used 2.5m of this @jeninuferu Ivy Brown in Cotton Viscose Twill from @maaidesign Shirt: #kalleshirtdress from @closetcorepatterns made in a size 4 (I struggled with the collar and the hem on this one and ended up rage sewing - never a good idea) Trousers: #truebiasemerson from @truebias - a real tried and tested pattern for me - this must be version 6 at least! Labels: @kylieandthemachine (all 4 of them) #thegadsbygrainline #teacherswhosew #brisbanesews #imakemyownclothes #imadethis

From useless dress to useful shorts These were no hassle at all because I've made and fitted the pattern before. The only change from my last pair was to double up the waist elastic because I always feel like my shorts are going to fall down if I have my phone in the pocket. Worked a treat. The colour is really patchy because of my failed dye job on the dress I harvested the fabric from, so my next job is to decide how to re-dye them. Pattern: #trueBiasEmerson Pattern size: 14 Mods: lengthened leg, lengthened rise, low seat adjustment, full abdomen adjustment Fabric: Weighty linen viscose #refashioned #upcycledFabric #emersonShorts #trueBiasPatterns

Confession: MDSW is 25 minutes away and I didn’t go. 🫣 It hasn’t stopped raining for more than 20 minutes today and I just didn’t have the energy for the damp and mud. So, here’s my #memademay outfit from my adventures at Yarncentrick and Magpie Fibers. I’m not planning to document all my handmade outfits for the month this year—more on my MMM plans in my latest YouTube video!—but I did snap this photo before heading out yesterday.
