My favourite outfits

I love clothes probably more than the average person and there’s nothing quite like wearing a full-on me-made outfit. Here are a few of my favourite things I’ve been wearing, of course with pattern and materials info!

A couple months ago I did an interview with the wonderful Paola from MYak and we chatted a little bit about lounge wear, so I had to include some of my most-worn outfits that are great for working from home and doing some yoga.

I’ve been especially enjoying making activewear lately and I know I’ll be doing lots more of that next year, along with some very special making for an important wedding!
