Me Made May Day 10: Bella Sunshine Designs Apple Cardigan, Emmaline, and Edens (Plus The Wolf and the Tree's Knockout Socks!)

I totally didn't plan on wearing (almost) all Bella Sunshine Designs patterns attire today, but hey - if it works!


Today I'm sporting for Me Made May:

 

Bella Sunshine Designs Emmaline Top


It has a lovekly geeky math cotton lycra fabric colour blocked with dark aqua fabric (aka ran out of fabric and colour blocked), along with some flowy light weight cotton lycra for the fun skirt part.

- Bella Sunshine Designs Apple Cardigan


So whenI originally sewed this up, I wondered why the sleeves looked weird - I sewed one arm upside down (opening was where the armhole should of been!); so after wearing it twice, I realized this and fixed it.


Important lesson: Read instructions and mark top and bottom of the fabric so things don't go on wrong.


I love the warm flow of my Apple Cardigan regardless - we are still friends.

- Bella Sunshine Designs Eden Leggings


These are awesome leggings - I own 4 pairs.


They lack the cameltoe effect, and make my behind look amazing and magical! 


See all my Edens in my recent post

The Wolf and the Tree's Knockout Socks


I am wearing my Deer inspired Knee High Socks like I'm in the 1980's Flashdance Movie!


I mean, who knows when I'm going to want to dance and use jazz hands today?


These were a simple sew, but used more fabric than I wanted to use, so I've only made 2 pairs so far. Eventually all of my socks will be a variety of TWT Knockout Socks - they're really comfy and fit well once you figure out how wide your calf is (don't guess, or your socks may fall down!).


Until tomorrow, Sew On!


Oh, and psssst...I'm doing something exciting on Sunday - guess what it is!!

Me Made May - Day 9 - Halla's Hey Babie and Patterns for Pirates Peg Legs

Today it's a bit chilly, so that warrants a hood. And full coverage for me Me Made May rotation. 

So out come a few of the first garments I sewed up last year when I started Sewing My Wardrobe.

Halla Patterns Hey Babie Top

This is one of the first tops I made - and I guess I started colour blocking here, as I used 4 different fabrics (and fabric types).

- Some flowery sort of stretchy fabric for the sleeves
- Black Rabbit custom Geeky Math print for the front - More Black Rabbit Cotton Lycra (sporty as it's sleek feeling) for part o the back
- Random Fabricland thin not so stretchy fabric for the hood, ties, and part of the back blocking

I LOVE ruching - it's flattering, and leaves any lumps and bumps of the body behind. 

And I LOVE hoods, hence the hood - it also keeps my neck warm. 

Patterns for Pirates Peg Legs

These were my first leggings - the reason I started sewing my wardrobe.

They have since added an "add on" to this FREE pattern, which includes side ruching (I have a pair with mario and sparkly fabric - awesome!), colour blocking, pockets, and then some. 

But for a beginner, normal leggings were what I was looking for, and they're still going strong after over a year! 

Comfy style today, and I even matched pants and top. 

Life Goals.
