My sewing this weekend was obviously cursed. After yesterday's melted powermesh incident, today I was making good progress and thought I might even manage to get the bra and both pairs of matching pants finished before I had to turn my room back into an office for a week. And then I realised that my thread was running very low; fortunately, I googled the opening hours of the local fabric shop before leaping into the car in an attempt to get there before 4pm, as they actually close at 3pm on a Sunday. So I managed to finish the bra, but the pants remain untrimmed. And I need to order some black thread*.

I did, however, manage to cut out a shirt I washed the fabric for ages ago before getting distracted by underwear making. I am very happy with my me-made underwear, but it will be nice to have new outer clothes to wear too, especially as I made a last-minute decision yesterday to join in with the Me-Made May challenge. I was in two minds about doing it this year, because these days wearing clothes I've made every day doesn't actually feel much like a challenge but I don't have the energy to try to do a harder challenge, but I like seeing everyone else's photos and thought I might as well post my outfits even if I'm not working to a particular challenge.


*Obviously, two hours later, as I was finishing up my ironing and preparing to put the sewing machine away, I spotted the reel of "almost black" thread that I'd actually ordered to go with the fabric, but by then it was too late to do any more, and the fold-over elastic I'm using is definitely black anyway.
