This was so fun to see all of your makes!

[@ruthwilson6524]

Really great idea for a video

[@sewlittletime]

Well done for staying strong through your sentimental makes...your right memories are held inside. I bet it felt good to release them so you can now make room for new makes xx

[@lr2168]

Love the video and you have made me think, not to keep it just because I’ve made it. If I’m not wearing it, pass it on.

[@joannebanks2147]

Thank you for sharing I am going to do the same thing soon Here in Canada 🇨🇦 Northern Saskatchewan springs slowly coming and I need to go through the closet clear out some things and I have a few plans I also have memories with clothes I have had a 2 years of breast cancer treatment and now recovering and sewing saved my sanity and I really got back to more sewing and I look at certain things and think oh I need to keep that But I will be brave and keep the good memories and out they go lol Thank you for sharing It was just what I needed to hear Happy sewing Can't wait to see new makes and plans for spring Take care

[@evecarty9024]

This was a great video and we all need the reminder that we can't keep everything we make for ever, there would be no room for all the new wonderful me mades. Thanks!

I’m getting ready to get my summer close out from the loft so I need to space. I bet there’s some clothes in the summer wardrobe I don’t need either xx

[@NotesfromtheSewingRoom]

Great to see your declutter and see some of your makes. I had the same thing happen to my Mia jeans, I can’t get them on over my hips now! My marigold hack also wasn’t a winner for me 😊💖. Hopefully we can record some more hack off videos soon. Need to think of some hack ideas! Xx

[@amem2785]

Definitely dresses!! All the way! Thank you, very helpful vlog and lovely to hear your memories.

[@ButtonPip]

It’s beautiful that garments hold so many memories but I need to remember that those memories remain in my heart ❤️

[@rikkib7636]

Thank you for sharing Adele. I need to go through my stuff and listening to your video really helps. I’ll probably re-watch again just before I do 😄

[@katiarocha1109]

I do this periodically with my makes. My style and sewing ability changes constantly. A clear out is important to not only see the changes but also improvements one makes in sewing, as well as gaps in ones wardrobe. I normally sell my clothes on Vinted. People out there value hand sewn makes and unique garments. And it helps provide a little cash for new fabrics and patterns. Definitely recommend a clear out every so often. Love it.

[@ButtonPip]

I think I will do a clear out of my summer wardrobe in the autumn. Really consider if I wore it all xx

[@sueb4919]

I agree with you - let them go if they’re taking up space. And I’ve discovered I love wearing dresses mostly too, even when I’m not out or working.

[@ButtonPip]

Before I began dressmaking I would only wear a dress for a special occasion and felt over dressed if I wore one to work. Now I LOVE them!!

[@suejohnson3905]

Thank you for inspiring us to be more practical and not to keep things stored in the wardrobe that have sentimental value and never get worn I know I keep things 'just in case' they may be useful and then struggle to fit more clothes in as you say we need to be strong so wardrobe here I come !!

[@ButtonPip]

Have fun with your clear out!! I’m going to do another after summer time xx

[@thefrxsties3919]

Need a new video they're so good

[@jackiefreedman7023]

Definitely food for thought......I think you’ve prompted me to look carefully at my wardrobe. I’m probably keeping things because they are ‘me made’ rather than because I wear them

[@ButtonPip]

I think now is a good time as I’ll be getting my summer makes out soon so I’m glad to now have more room xx

[@susanstaley6408]

I loved this! Thank you for sharing. It’s always difficult to cull our wardrobe, especially if there are memories attached. I really am at a stage of needing to do this and be ruthless at the same time. It’s well overdue for me. 😊

[@ButtonPip]

It was difficult with my blue too but I carefully considered why was I holding on to it?! I’m going to keep up and do it regularly xx

[@Hide_and_silk]

Loved this vlog and hearing all the memories attached to your clothes. It's hard to let go of things that have a sentimental attachment but they are just 'things' at the end of the day Xx

[@ButtonPip]

Thank you so much for watching. I will always have those special memories in my heart ❤️

[@yougotmeinstitches1847]

Haya. AAwww so touching to hear about the stories behind your beautiful makes :) I am sure you have photos of you in them all to also keep the memories alive :) Thanku for sharing. xx

[@ButtonPip]

Thank you so much, that’s one of the great things about Instagram, it’s a beautiful record of all my makes together in one place

[@LostMyThread]

I loved this video so much, Adelle! It was really nice to hear the stories behind your me-mades, and it is really inspiring me to have a look through my own wordrobe. 💞

[@ButtonPip]

It’s funny because I remember exactly where each piece of fabric comes from and I picture in my mind what I felt when I first saw it xx

[@SlapHappyRetirement]

Good for you! Not easy to let go of old me-mades, but its important to wear everything in your wardrobe too

[@ButtonPip]

Once they’ve gone I actually feel better!! More room for when I get more summer wardrobe out xx

[@u2addict]

I always wondered what was the best way to let go of me-made clothing. Thanks for the inspo (off to declutter my closet now!)

[@ButtonPip]

Have fun clearing it out!! I have to admit I feel great now I’ve let go of them xx

[@mnoeliarc]

This was fun to watch. I like it because it’s nice to get feedback about how much you wear what you make. I agree about the Tilly fabric. Sadly, its of very poor quality and I wished more people were honest about it as it was not cheap. Also, thanks for sharing your story about your top xx

[@ButtonPip]

I have some of the rainbow jersey still in my stash and I’ve got no excitement for sewing with it now xx

[@madebycathcraft]

Thanks for sharing Adelle! I need to do the same on some of my memades so it was really helpful to watch this and hear your thoughts on the garments you aren't keeping. I have the black allsorts jersey from TATB too and was also disappointed with the quality xx

[@ButtonPip]

It’s a real shame that it went like that as I love the print ❤️

[@ThatRomyKate]

Great video, I love watching your channel, it feels like having a tea and chat with a friend 😊 makes me long for sewing meet ups! (Remember them?!) It’s great to have a clear out and be a bit ruthless. I’m guilty of hanging onto things I don’t wear because I feel like I should get my money’s worth but if I don’t love it I shouldn’t be wearing it, right?

[@ButtonPip]

Oh how I would love to go to a sewing meet up right now and catch up!! Oh yes I agree it’s difficult to let go of makes when the fabric was expensive. But I’m going to keep the rule- have a worn it in the last year. If not it’s going.

[@janicecoulson5388]

Do you donate to charity shop or just recycle?

[@ButtonPip]

I take them to the local charity shop in my local town. Hopefully they will be reloved ❤️
