Instagram wants to cut my video from TikTok in half, so here’s a picture of what I’ve done today instead... #cosplaywip #sewing #cosplaysewing #patterndraping #plussizesewing #hannahalexandercosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/COvsE1SDckO/?igshid=12klc38n5mf2g

Isolation sewing - a Made by Rae Bianca top. Super-simple to sew and also cute... I’m going to have to make more of these.

I’ve been sewing a little.

Dear self: get off your arse and take photos of the five things you’ve made this week.

I’ve been dealing with my son cutting molars, so I haven’t done much lately, but yesterday, I made this tunic top. It has an adjustable drawstring under the left arm and a hood. I’m calling it my ranger elf tunic. I’m going to wear it as regular clothing but I could totally make a #larp elf design around it. Probably like a #steampunk elf or something of the like. It’s a bit big on me, because I don’t have my new smaller dress form yet, but I should have it by/for the holidays. It’s a very soft knit and it’s heckin comfy. #plussizefashion #plussizeclothing #plussizesewing #larpcostume #elfcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CHtqGCajfvu/?igshid=gx50b0y7dnrv

My sundress is finished. I’m rather pleased with the finished piece, even though it would have been maxi length, if I had enough fabric to make it so. Not bad for random pieces from my fabric stash. #plussizefashion #patterndraping #plussizesewing #patternmaking #patterning #plussizeboho #bohemianfashion #bohofashion #bohostyle #plussizebohemian #curvyfashion #curvybohemian https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3xsDmjfEP/?igshid=1ow1deylhuywk

So I decided to participate in an Instagram-based challenge called Me Made May, meaning I have to wear at least one article of handmade clothing every day this month (and take pics). So far I'm having fun with it, and I'm aiming to see it through to the end. There'll be new makes showing up, as well as old makes that I've dusted off to see if I still like wearing them.

One thing's for sure: outfit planning has made me realise that I really, really need to sew more things for my bottom half. I've made lots of tops and dresses, but only three skirts and zero pants. Pants fitting seems so damned complicated, though - there are so many more ways that things can fit poorly than with skirts or dresses. Bah.

I'm still waffling on whether or not I should post my daily photos here as well as on Instagram.

(If we're mutuals and you also have Instagram and would like us to follow each other, send me a message - I won't post my link publicly but I'm willing to share it in PMs.)
