On Monday, May 11, my #MeMadeMay choice was my super-comfy jumper/pinafore made of coat-weight wool in large houndstooth patterning. The design is a hack of @100actsofsewing 's #DressNo1 pattern. I adjusted for the thickness of the fabric, made the armholes larger to fit tops underneath, lined it fully and added button detail on the straps. I wore the jumper for our nightly FB Live show (at facebook.com/fabulousheftones every night at 6pm EDT). After the show I got cold, and tossed a wool sweater over the whole getup. Impressively, that made the jumper/pinafore look like an A-line skirt with a very nice hip-level proportion. What a great surprise! In addition, you may be able to make out my dark purple legwarmers. I knit them from my own Road-Tested Legwarmer pattern (available @hi.ravelry), from @brownsheepco #LambsPrideWorsted yarn in Amethyst. They are a brighter slightly-bluish purple in real light. #memade #memademay #Imakemyownclothes #Imakestuff #Sewistsofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #sewingover60 #sewingover50 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMnD_WJsCf/?igshid=vrlrjuun492j
