Hi All! It's SWIMWEAR MONTH!!! You know me, this is my favourite, there's nothing better than making swimwear- it's like underwear for outerwear that I can show off to the world (not just online he he)! And I was thinking about what I wanted to make this month and...

A Tiny Break from Bra A Week
Hi All! The sun is shining and I'm out there soaking it up! It's a beautiful long weekend here in Canada, and since it's the long weekend, and because there is an extra Sunday in May, I decided to take that extra Sunday and treat myself to a weekend off. I'm out with...
[WEEK 3]: MMMAY16 Round Up!
Hi All! Week 3 has already come to an end, how does time move so quickly? And I have to say that time slipped out too quickly this week, and I didn't have time to get my indie make done. After fighting a terrible cold for the first half of the month (since when do...
[BAW20]: A Little Lace on the Side
Hi All, I think at this point it's pretty clear that I love a good boyshort. I'm filling my drawer with as many pair as I can this month! And I wanted to do a little twist on the original this week with some lace on the side. I really love the look of lace on a...

[WEEK 1] MMMay16 Round up!
Hi All! It's been a pretty good start to Me-Made-May this year, if I do say so myself 🙂 I did wake up with a bad cold on day 3, but I'm not letting it dampen my me-made spirits 🙂 It just gives me a chance to wear all my comfiest me-mades! Here is my week in outfits!...
The Bethioua
Hi All! For my first indie pattern make this month, I decided that the Bethioua pattern would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe 🙂 This is a raglan, batwing sleeve shirt, with a cool detail in the back where the sleeve pieces wrap around and meet in the center...
[BAW18] The Boyshort
Hi All! It's the beginning of May! And if you didn't know yet, May is all about bottoms for me! I figured that after 16 months of bra making, it was about time that I dedicated a month to making some matching bottoms. For the first week I thought it was most fitting...
Me Made May 2016!!!!!
Hi All!! I just realized how insanely long it's been since I've written a post that wasn't for Bra-A-Week. It's been too long! So it's very refreshing to write a new post! And this one isn't specifically about lingerie or swimwear (although of course it will involve...

Hi All! Happy Spring! How is your spring going? Here in southern Ontario we've been surprised by more snow- and just when I thought it was safe to take off my snow tires! But I'm not letting it dampen my spring feels 🙂 So for my first make this month, I've decided to...
