Me Made May 2017 | Trixie Lixies Blog

Here we go with part 2 of Me Made May, day 10 -20 and I am continuing the theme of Guess the film: you can follow my daily posts on instagram @trixieliepics or on twitter @trixielixiesays or on Facebook

Here we are at day 11 and I am enjoying a huge G & T wearing my new pair of Closet Case Ginger jeans with a Liberty jersey Sewaholic Renfrew top. But can you guess the film?

Day 12 and the weather has changed and this film is very relevant! Wearing Gingers again, this time with one of my Grainline Studios Linden sweatshirts, I love this pattern! It’s so quick and easy to knock up and you can mix & match bits of jersey that you have in your stash!

Here we are in my original pair of Ginger Jeans (I can’t believe it was a year ago that I made this pair!) with a shift tunic, this is based on the shift dress that I am teaching in the Trixie Lixie sewing classes this summer (details on our Facebook page). Guess this film!

Day 14 and I am wearing one of my many By Hand London Anna dresses, you can see it in colour here! Guess the old classic film that I am gatecrashing!

This film is a bit tricky to guess I think, but it is one of my favourites and I love that I am the centre of attention! Wearing a Colette Wren dress and a Jenna Cardigan, I must blog about this cardigan! It is made using the Jenna cardigan pattern by Muse patterns that I hacked and put together with a vintage silk scarf and red jersey fabric, it looks fab!

It’s almost May and another Me-Made-May is fast approaching so I thought I would re-post my first ever Me-Made-May! I always have so much fun doing it and can’t wait for this May so that I can do it all again, any suggestions for my theme this year? Last year it was Where am I, there wasn’t much of a theme to the first one, it just evolved!

Me-Made-May 2014

Although it says day 19 on this image it was in fact only day 18, I got a bit confused! Being on a pirate ship probably didn’t help! I am wearing a Colette Ceylon Dress that I made a few years ago, #mmm2014 has really encouraged me to wear a lot of outfits that have been sitting in the back of my wardrobe!

So this is actually day 19 and I look as if I am having a great time on the waltzers but actually fair ground rides absolutely terrify me! I am wearing a Simple Sew A-line skirt which is exactly that – a very simple sew and the pattern for £7.50 is also a very good price, the fabric is from the Moda Honky Tonk range which I love! My Blouse is the Sewaholic Belcarra that I have mentioned in previous posts.

Party on! My gorgeous Mortmain dress that I am loving at the moment, I make dresses all the time and then hardly wear them so it’s great to get the opportunity to show them off at the moment and I must continue to wear them when #mmm2014 finishes!

On day 21 I did actually go and see Joe Brown in concert, he was GREAT and those of you who know me will realise that I am actually playing that ukulele (although not actually with Joe!) as it is something I like to do when I am not sewing! This By Hand London Anna dress has got to be my favourite make of the month, I love it!

This has got to be one of my favorite photo’s of the month, I didn’ know what animal it was going to be Mr LLM just said today you are going to the zoo! The dress is a self drafted jersy knit using some of the funky jersey fabric we have in stock at the moment and the leggings are Cake Espresso’s.

I am really enjoying sewing with knit fabrics at the moment, I treated myself to a copy of the new Colette book ‘Sewing with knits’ and it has given me the confidence to try lots of knit patterns, including this Colette Moneta dress, if you have got a serger you can make this really quickly! More lush jersey fabric!

It was a gorgeous day today so I am wearing shorts, these are just a pair of cut-off jeans but I really want to make some Thurlow shorts for the summer, and the top is my stripey Sewaholic Renfrew, another quick and easy jersey make.

We went away for the week end so I appear to be camping in a tiny tent here, but actually we stayed in a caravan, it was pretty cold in the evenings though so I was really gratefull for my Sewaholic Tofino trousers and hand knitted Rowan wool bobble hat and jumper!

I feel like Alice in Wonderland in this shot! Rocking my A-Line skirt as mentioned earlier and yet another jersey top, this time a Cake Cabrita.

On day 27 I was serving pints for Manet, enormous pints! I love this gingham Belcarra blouse!

Somehow I ended up in the fridge today! Its a good job that I have got a hand knitted hat on to keep my head warm! I am also wearing my Black Sewaholic Thurlow trousers and a Colette Jasmine blouse, this is one of the blouse’s that is available to buy as a kit from the website.
