After a long walk in the sun yesterday morning I’ll be staying cool today in my wearable toile of the @megannielsenpatterns #darlingrangesdress made using pretty lightweight cotton that I bought with @threadsnbobbins from @fabworksmillshop last year. Really pleased with how this turned out; I opted for snaps rather than buttons and I really like how to ties pull in the waist. I made a Medium and lengthened the skirt a few inches. Tonight I’m off to an outdoor pilates class (not whilst wearing this dress 😆) so today I’ll be mostly looking forward to that 🧘🏻‍♀️ • • • #meganneilsenpatterns #darlingranges #memade #handmade #ukteacherswhosew #isewlation #diyootd #june #fabworks #floral

Another beautiful sunny day so I reached for one of my trusty Emery dresses, made a few years ago but still loved. This one is my favourite mostly because of the flying geese #AlisonGlass fabric. • • • #memademay #diyootd #memade #handmadewardrobe #ukteacherswhosew #emerydress #flyinggeese #isewlation

I didn’t even make a pledge for #memadeMay this year; everything is so far from normal and I’ve been working 2 weeks on/2 weeks off in school. It has, however, given me the nudge to try and get a photo of my outfits on some of the days they are #memade and now the sun has come out and enabled the wearing of summer dresses it’s much easier to make the effort. Today I’m wearing this @aprilarhodes #StapleDress I sewed up last year in gorgeous cotton gifted by @minervadotcom You can’t quite tell in this pic but it has a high low hem and even a bit of shearing for definition and shape. It’s cool and comfy and perfect for a sunny day at school 🌞 • • • #handmadewardrobe #ukteacherswhosew #dressmaking #summerdress #isewlation #bankholiday #bankholidaymonday #aprilrhodes

Eep! After much deliberation, design and deferring, I *finally* ordered some of my very own labels to sew into my garments. I used @dutchlabelshop because I’d heard good things and chose red ribbon with gold stitching, and the classic scissor graphic. They just dropped through the letter box and have cheered up my Saturday evening 🥰 I love the colours, the quality and the overall look and I can’t wait to start adding them to my makes. Great service, highly recommend and already considering what my next colour scheme will be 🌈 • • • #labels #clothinglabels #personalised #makingandmarking #memade #handmade #ukteacherswhosew #isewlation #imadethis #handmadewardrobe

For once Wilfie voluntarily got in on the action this morning, although he’s looking particularly tiny for some reason. Finishing the week back in trousers as the sun has (hopefully temporarily) disappeared. These Safiyas are ticking all the boxes in terms of style and comfort as well as working well with basically everything else in my wardrobe. Paired with my Tabitha again which I also can’t get enough of 💅🏽💛 • • • #sewingsafiya #sewingTabitha #sewingJuno #tatb #tillyandthebuttons #memademay #handmade #memade #diyootd #ukteacherswhosew #isewlation #friday

Wearing one of my favourite dresses today ~ this @megannielsenpatterns River I made last year from beautiful John Kaldor cotton sateen from @minervadotcom I love that this dress can be worn with the v neck either at the front or the back, as well as the shape of the dress with the belt. • • • #mnriver #meganneilsenpatterns #floral #memade #memadeMay #isewlation #ukteacherswhosew #minervamakers #diyootd
