Once again the blue top ( https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/112384470132286278 ) again with the Test Jeans ( https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/114868069937535283 ) now patched extremely visibly as an experiment. Turns out I liked that. #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMay2026

Today's #MeMadeMay2026 is another nightie, and the mended jeans again, but a better photo of them this time. #MeMadeMay

No new photos but here's Nunderwear Nighties 1 and 3 from the time I made them. I'm wearing 3 in bed today because I'm not well enough to get up. Linen rectangles are the way to go. #MeMadeMay2026 #MeMadeMay

@Stratski@mendeddrum.org This thread is brilliant. I think you might want to change "snaps" to "snips" because it might not be totally clear to a beginner, but the rest of it is very very clear and suitable for someone doing their first alteration, I think.

@raphaelmorgan @dalias @x0 @Zumbador @Willow yeah, we had a GP my partner thought was great until I went for a lung infection and was required to strip to the waist without a chaperone.

There should be rules about laundry instructions on garments.

@luciledt Small repairs before big makings is some sort of rule in my head.

RE: https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/112134415547175705

Today I am mostly ironing the flat-felled seams on the dress this whole project was started for, from this fabric - https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/112557957951845687 - and it's slow going because they are very long and I have a ridiculous ironing setup now. But this project has been going for over three years. https://mastodon.art/@artbyailbhe/109870199121189462 #DressLavenderYellow
