Me Made May 2018!!!

So at the very last minute I decided to sign up for #MMM18 over on Instagram. Seeing everyone's posts made me realise I could do it, despite not having many warmer weather items that fit me.

Last year I was told I had a slipped disk in my back that was causing a lot of pain. This January I was also diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. Both have left me struggling to carry out daily tasks like food shopping, clothes washing, chores and work. My medications have caused me to gain weight and go up several dress sizes. I'm not overly bothered about this as I hope that they will be protecting my joints in the future. I don't, however, have many 'me mades' that fit.

I've pledged to wear a 'me made' 4 days a week - this seems doable - and I'm going to be sewing up some simple, quick, stash busting makes to help me do this. If you have any good pattern ideas let me know.

So here is my day one of Me Made May 2018 - my Sew Over It Mollie top in classic Where's Wally stripe. This is Oz who didnt really want to pose with me but was forced too! 

Who else is taking part? I'll be following #MMM18 on Instagram to find out.

Hello from Hagardashery!

 Welcome to Hagardashery

Hi, I'm Hagar (hence Hagardashery - not a misspelling). I love to make my own clothes, home furnishings and jewellery. I am also an obsessive fabric and pattern collector (hoarder)! I've been crafting all my life but the dressmaking bug seriously grabbed me 4 years ago. Since then I've taken over our spare room with sewing paraphernalia.

I live in the beautiful city of Bath, in the UK. I have a long suffering husband Adam, a beautiful teenage daughter Amelie and a menagerie of animals (Betty the Cocker Spaniel, Punky & Oz the Bengal cats and Hugo the thoroughbred horse). I have only sewn for some of them so far!
