Hi All! So a couple weeks ago the Sewcialist group from Toronto, decided to get together for a fancy sewing outing. It was a chance to see the Dior Exhibit happening at the ROM, have high tea, and of course, wear our fancy me-mades. Now I have to say that I don't...
Hi All, It was about that time again where I needed to sew something that wasn't a bra, and this time I settled on something that felt very fall to me - a wrap top. Something that is light, but cosy, that wraps you up, but doesn't smother you in warmth just...
Hi All! Another week of May just sailing past. This time I took as many photos as last week- not too bad lol! It's always amazing to me how much things change in May- the month always starts out cold, in sweaters and jackets and jeans- then by three weeks in you can...
Hi All, Week 2 of Me Made May has come and gone, and I have to admit that I wasn't quite as good at taking pictures of all my me-mades this week. I do wear me-mades every day, but a lot of the time they are repeats, or not super photo worthy (like my really old but...
Hi All! I can't believe it's already May. I think I do this every year- It starts with Fall and I love the crisp cool weather, then it's winter and I'm like- this is cool, I like this- then it's still winter.. and I think it will never end and just accept that...
Hi All! I decided it was time to do a little selfish sewing 🙂 With my trip to Barcelona last month, and Me Made May coming up I wanted to think of a perfect addition to my spring/summer wardrobe. I wanted something light, something simple, something comfortable and...
Hi All! It was time for a little selfish sewing this month. Something that wasn't underwear, something that would add to my non-lingerie wardrobe. But instead of pure selfish sewing, I decided it would be better if mom and I did a swap and sewed something for each...

Hi All! How has your fall been going (or spring if you're on the other half of the earth)? Have you been able to work your way through the style changes of the season? If you're having a hard time, and feel like you want something quick and easy to sew that will give...
![[Style Search] Week 7 The Ogden Cami](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/StyleSearchFall2016.png)
Hi All! Back to the Style Search! And this week I decided that after some skirts, and a dress, it was about time that I added some classic tops to my wardrobe. Looking through my wardrobe I realized that I have absolutely no spaghetti strap tank tops- I have some...
![[Style Search]: Week 6 Lingerie Wardrobe](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/lingeriewardrobe.png)
Hi All! Did you really think I'd make it too much longer without talking about lingerie? It's really a huge part of my wardrobe, and I have to say that after going through my style search, I realize that I haven't focused my bra making towards a perfect 'bra...
![[Style Search]: Week 5 Ultimate Wrap Dress](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/StyleSearchFall2016-1.png)
Hi All! It's time for another addition to my wardrobe 🙂 And this one was something I definitely wanted to check off my list, because I think it will be perfect for my fall/winter wardrobe and it hits so many of my style words! And that of course is a wrap dress! I...
![[Style Search]: Week 4 Styling the Mabel](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/week3.png)
Hi All! So after a lot more pacing in my room, trying on what felt like everything I owned, and a little more laying on my floor staring at my ceiling, I managed to make 10 outfits that I love!! I have to say that once you get into it, and you get a little more...
![[Style Search] Week 3: First Make](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/StyleSearchFall2016week3.jpg)
Hi All! After last week I definitely needed a little time away from my closet, and to recharge in front of my sewing machine, think about everything and process a little more. Firstly thanks so much for all of your amazing comments! You guys are the best! You gave me...
![[Style Search] Week 2: The Closet Overhaul](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/StyleSearchFall2016.png)
Hi All, This post is really late. I was planning to go through my wardrobe this week and it would be fairly simple- look through my things, pick out the things that are summer, the things that don't fit me anymore and the things that don't fit my categories- shouldn't...
![[Style Search]: Words & Colours](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Style.png)
Hi All! Style time! So I've been thinking a lot more about my style, and reading through all of the amazing links that you're sending me, and suggesting- and it's all so much to take in! But I have taken the time to do two things: write down key style words that I...
![[Style Search] Week 1 My Style Story](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/StyleSearchFall2016-1.png)
Hi All! Here marks the beginning of my style search. *deep breath* I have to say that I'm a little nervous for this, and I feel a little vulnerable. I've felt this style crisis coming on for a couple years now, and although I feel like I have a fairly strong sense of...
Hi All! So this week- I was thinking- what bra/swimsuit should I make? What haven't I made yet? What would be the best thing to make? The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I really REALLY need some more me-made clothes, and spending another weekend...
Pictured this week are the (starting from the top right counterclockwise) mermaid bikini with flower top, dreaming in silk bra, gingham retro bathing suit, ivory lace bra, zig-zag sport bikini & black lace body suit. Hi All! Okay, so May didn't go quite according...
![[WEEK 3]: MMMAY16 Round Up!](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/WEEK3.jpg)
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...
![[WEEK 2] MMMay16 Round-Up!](https://emeralderin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/WEEK2.jpg)
Hi All! It's already the end of week 2 of Me Made May, and I have to say that I'm just as smitten with it as last week 🙂 This week I've worn lots of my me-made underwear, some me-made pjs, an indie pattern make from last MMMAY and of course my latest indie pattern...
Hi All! It's time for my second indie pattern make of Me Made May! And I'm SO happy I chose this pattern I love it! This week I made the Hudson Pants from True Bias . I made them using a deep fuchsia, thick stretch knit with this subtle zig-zag texture. For the...
